Sitaleki Timani isn't playing for the Wallabies though.

 

[barbarian]

Are both Tagicakibau brothers playing? I know that the Samoan one made the squad, did the Fijian brother?

Yes they are. Well done.

 

[Braveheart81]

The Jones and Davies comment was a joke by the way... I know none of them are related

Wales would have beaten South Africa if they'd had their usual quota of three Jones in the run on side.

I figured that, but thought I'd play it safe. You forgot the Williams and Jenkins brothers as well!

So there are three sets of brothers remaining, and I now give permission to use google. The countries are Canada, Namibia and Georgia.

 

[EVERYFWDTHINKTHEYREA6OR7]

Nope



Nope

Beg your pardon, on the Timani issue. For some reason i had it in my head he was in the squad.

 

[EVERYFWDTHINKTHEYREA6OR7]

Not the Mackenzie's for Canada is it?

 

[barbarian]

Yep, nicely done.

Will wait a few more minutes, then just tell you the other two and we can move on.

I can't believe no-one got 13. It was the first one that came into my head!

 

[Braveheart81]

I've been through the Georgia list a couple of times and still can't work out two names that are the same.

 

[barbarian]

OK let's have a round of 'Who am I?'. I will give clues a couple of minutes apart, and you ahve to guess the mystery player. One guess per player, no cheating.
