Rugby World Cup trivia
 

I'll set the ball rolling. The person with the correct answer puts up the next question, unless they want to pass on that option.


Who was the player from a Home Nations team who played in both the 1987 and 1999 Rugby World Cups (but not the ones inbetween)?

I'd guess someone who went to league in the intervening years. Allan Bateman?

Right idea of thinking. Wrong answer.

Tait then? The Scots wing.

Well done, Chumbabrumber. You're up.

I can only think of rank obvious ones just now. Anyway:

I set a world cup (& world) record on my international debut. Who am I?

Ieuan Evans. For those who don't know about my lack of rugby knowledge, I will be answering Ieuan Evans for every question that I choose to reply to in the off-chance that this will be the correct answer

Sorry. Noble effort tho all the same.

No one? :unsure:

Ok, he's one of Volts's & HDS's fellow countrymen.

Lomu?

No, but it was achieved in big Jonah's first WC. :)

Marc Ellis?

Oooo. So warm. Was in the same game as Ellis ran in six tries.

Simon Culhane?

That's the fella. 45 points (IIRC) on his first test appearance, which is a record that still stands. His 20 conversions is probably still a record too.

You're up. :)
