Some good answers, but still plenty left to find.

There is a mistake on Q7, as Mite points out, it is International Rugby Hall of Fame, not IRB. It's been edited now.

[Fa'atau82]

Pretty good efforts so far. The idea of this thread is that other people post quizzes too, so this one might last a while if anyone digs it.

I'll let a few more people guess then give out the answers. Do you like the quiz? Is it too hard? Although i guess i could have asked much harder questions like, how many times have opponents got lomu's balls in their face attempting a tackle haha

 

[Steve-o]

How about a rule that after 10 answers, the answers are given out and then the users get a rating/ranking out of ten for that round. Doesn't have to be official, but atleast have a winner.

 

[Fa'atau82]

Yeh good idea Steve-o, les' say 5 for the moment, and if i get more than 5 i'll take it up to ten. then grade everyone, but please try to answer all the questions.. you cant lose anything for a wrong answer.
