[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 90519"] He's right...the standard of International rugby can be a bit lacking at points between cups. However ask him these 3 questions and Fitzpatrick will answer all correctly. What year did England win the Fifa World Cup? What year did NZ win the Rugby World Cup? What year did Australia first win the Rugby World Cup? Ask Fitzy these next 3 question and it will be highly unlikely he will get 3 out of 3. How many times did England play Germany in a friendly the same year they won the Fifa World Cup and beat them? What was the highest score the AB's achieved against another International team the same year prior to the World Cup was played? (He should know this as he was playing!) How many times did the Wallabies play the AB's in tests the same year prior to the World Cup was played in England where the Wallabies won? (He should know this as he was playing!) Now....why is it that most people who take this test will not answer the bottom 3 questions without googling it? Yet the top 3 involving "cups" are easily remebered. World Cups are the bechmarks throughout history...the reference points for fans to look back on. For instance 1956 was a huge turning point for NZ rugby. Yet most of todays generation have no idea what happened or even the details of why this is so. 100 years from now people will know what 1987 means but not what 1956 is for NZ rugby. [/QUOTE]
