Of course!

1983 Lions Team was captained by Ireland hooker Ciaran Fitzgerald.

Many believe that the backup hooker on that tour should have been selected ahead of him in the Tests.

3 questions.

1/ Who was that player?

2/ Which college did he visit whilst on that tour?

3/ Which pupil from that college spoke to the school assembly and introduced 'said' player?

If you're going to be childish I'll ask zzz to give a 'yellow' Memph! ( I'd do it myself, but I'm no longer a moderator under the new regime ).:\

thats the best part about the new ownership. cull out the retards by banning them, and getting rid of blatently thick moderators.

Dick Myers is the subject of one of my all-time favourite rugby quiz questions!

The question: Ian Kirkpatrick was dropped from the AB's after the '77 series v the Lions and was replaced on the tour to France that same year by........Dick Myers!:D

Not many people get it right by the way cat......and when I tell them the answer they go, "Dick who????"

Wrong again.Hines played for the mighty TOKOROA club,and went to Leamington after his career had dropped away.

The original post only listed international teams' names beside each coach, Razor...

You are right about Robbie though...

No way can he be 57%...

It'll be less after this weekend...

Opposition - Ground - Result - For - Aga

v South Africa - Johannesburg - lost - 8 - 53

v New Zealand - Brisbane - lost - 24 - 28

v New Zealand - Hong Kong - lost - 14 - 19

v Ireland - Brisbane - won - 22 - 15

v South Africa - Brisbane - won - 30 - 13

v New Zealand - Melbourne - lost - 28 - 49

By my count that's:

Played 34

Won 19

Drew 2

Lost 13

Win Percentage 55.88

If you are charitable and treat the 2 draws as 1 win it improves things a little:

Win Percentage treating the 2 draws as 1 more win = 58.82%

Of course, another loss this weekend and those figures dive again:

19 wins from 35 starts = 54.28%

20 wins (the 2 draws counting as 1 win again) from 35 starts = 57.14%

That
