+The Lavender Hill Mob Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I don't think you can score against yourself in rugby so either he/she changed countries or played another sport apart from rugby where you can score against yourself..............I have no idea Gareth Edwards.

+cakemaker Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Not Jonah Lomu but as you've worked so hard- here's an almighty big clue: You got the right initials! Quote Link to comment
Sharpeset Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Not Jonah Lomu but as you've worked so hard- here's an almighty big clue: You got the right initials! Josh Lucy/Loosey? Quote Link to comment
+Team Sieni Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Not Jonah Lomu but as you've worked so hard- here's an almighty big clue: You got the right initials! John Leslie was a kilted kiwi (NZ-er who played for Scotland) but he never played any internationals against Scotland I don't think. These points, were they all scored in full internationals or were they scored in non-internationals like the baabaas? Quote Link to comment
+scanker Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Jason Leonard is the only other player I can think of with the initials JL, but I don't think it's him. Quote Link to comment

+scanker Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Wahey! My first ding! Sticking with the Rugby Union theme - in what year did the code change so that a try was worth 5 points instead of 4? Quote Link to comment

Sticking with the Rugby Union theme - in what year did the code change so that a try was worth 5 points instead of 4? It was quite recently, when I was at school it was worth 4..........when my kids were at school it was worth 5. When my dad was at school it was 3! So it must have changed somewhere in the late 80's or early 90's! Go for the middle......1990. Quote Link to comment

Almost correct, Merckx actually won the King of the Mountains twice, and the points jersey 3 times. Absolutely correct with the 13 more than Armstrong, but how many? Richard Quote Link to comment

I know it's overdue 'cos I saw a documentary about it a few years ago (might have been the same one), I'll go for 650,000 years.

(Or very good at abstract greek) Admittedly it's one of the more unusual phobias but it came up at work the other day when someone spotted it on a pub quiz website so it could go to a regular quizzer.

+JackieC Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Butyro is something to do with milk and butter. I work in the animal feed industry and lots of things can affect the taste of milk, including butyric acid levels in the animals feed (thats why I know that bit of the word) . So is it the fear of finding spiders in your dairy products? Quote Link to comment
