Rugby quiz question

[Draggs]

Go ahead, Draggs.

I think I could better name the Golden Lions squad

I do have a decent question on deck, so I had better start getting some questions right.

 

[nickdnz]

You got 102 out of 178 answers correct. How the **** is Jonny Wilkinson's name spelt?! Tried to a minute different ways to get it to accept it..

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

A minute different ways?

 

[nickdnz]

A minute different ways?

I don't English so good. I meant I tried for a minute - different ways of spelling it.

 

[Draggs]

OK then, I'll have a go.

Which to 1997 Lions tourists had names which were anagrams of each other?

 

[SelimNiai]

Nick Beal and Neil Back

Nick Beal and Neil Back

Good man.
Did you read Allan Bateman's book?

 

[SelimNiai]

No, it's something I was told ages ago and never forgotten it. Like there's only 1 London Tube station that has none of the letters in the word "mackerel"

Ah OK. Bateman made reference to it, where I first heard it.

Who is this now coach and former international?

 

[dullonien]

Some of you have good memories. I got 91 on the Lions quiz. Looking through after, I can't believe I forgot some names like Shanklin, Catt etc. I couldn't spell McGeechan, spelling it with a gh instead, and for the life of me I couldn't remember names such as Vickery, Flutey, Worsley, Blair, even Ieuan Evans, despite being able to remember what they looked like.

 

[psychic duck]

Nobody got the last question.

So I will move on to another. How many of the players in this video can you name?

Who was the lad in your previous question?

 

[Darwin]

It looks a bit like Mike Umaga to me, but I could be way off the mark!

That's the correct answer. Samoan international Mike Umaga, Tana's older brother. Coaching Spain as a guest defence coach in 2009.

Next question to Darwin.

I was the same my spelling was terrible and I kept seeing peoples faces and couldn't place them, even people like Matthew Rees!!! *Hangs head in shame*

I don't think I am very good under pressure! 105, but I did throw a few generic names in there. I also missed Rob Howley, Jamie Roberts, and Lee Byrne. Oh dear

 

[Darwin]

That's the correct answer. Samoan international Mike Umaga, Tana's older brother. Coaching Spain as a guest defence coach in 2009.

Next question to Darwin.

Ok then. Which prop has scored the most test tries? And how many test tries have they scored?

 

[nickdnz]

Kees Meeuws scored 10.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

!i heard someone say it was Castrogiovanni after his try against France. I'm going to say... 12?

Yep, I will give that to you.

My question probably wasn't that good, as I see that Argentina's Federico Mendez Azpillaga - who played prop at the start of his career before shifting to hooker - had 14 tries (mainly against powerhouses like Spain and Paraguay....). Most of his tries were as a hooker, so he probably doesn't count though...

Next question to ZeFrenchy....
