The Friday Quiz

[Jnor]

Castrogiovanni?

 

[Bullrush]

Williams (Martyn) and Jones are both in.

Mealamu is close, but sadly no cigar.

What?!?! There are 15 guys who have played more than 82 (83?) Tests??? They must've started when they were like....11?!?!

 

[Ruggo]

Dan Parks

 

[antimony]

Are you counting Mortlock as eligible?

 

[barbarian]

Ruggo gets John Hayes, only two to go.

Castro is the right position, but not the right Italian player.

 

[barbarian]

Yes Mortlock is eligible but not on the list.

The cut-off is 87 games, so no Mealamu (84) and no Mortlock (80).

 

[antimony]

Is Percy Montgomery still playing in europe? and therefore still eligible for SA?

Sumerville

 

[barbarian]

Nope. The two remaining players play for Ireland and Italy respectively.

Yep Stringer is the Paddy.

The Italian I hadn't really heard of, and I will give his name if he isn't guessed soon.
