[Tigerclan]

correct

 

[Ready]

Rugby: Name Australia's two wingers and full-back in the 1991 World Cup-winning side (1/2 point each)

 

[bairdy380]

Tricky one....seriously testing the memory....may have to think more on it but...

David Campese
Anthony Herbert

Can't think of full back for the life of me!!

 

[Ready]

David Campese
Anthony Herbert

The other winger and full-back were both NSW players. Definitely not the steroid gobblers who play modern professional rugby

 

[bairdy380]

I can pretty much name the full back line....but it just doesn't seem to be making sense for this team....must lie down...my brain hurts

Campese - Lynaugh - Little - Horan - Herbert (Was a very good combo...although it doesn't answer the Q)
I'll get back to this one....

 

[marella jube]

Was Marty Roebuck the fullback ?

 

[Ready]

Was Marty Roebuck the fullback ?

Yes.

We're still looking for the other winger. Wore a long-sleeve jumper with the sleeves rolled up and his socks around his ankles. Embarrassed John Kirwan at Sydney in the domestic season before the World Cup, successfully chasing a kick and scoring a memorable try.

 

[marella jube]

Robert Edgerton ?

 

[Ready]

Correct

 

[Curtiger]

Is that the complete answer, Ready? If so, how bout another question?

Curtis :blah

 

[Ready]

Marella Jube got 2 of the 3 so can ask the next question

 

[marella jube]

Thanks Ready .

2 part question

a) Where is the Geelong AFL club song tune taken from ?

b) Which NRL (2nd tier) club (better words) also uses this piece for their club song ?

 

[bairdy380]

First bit is easy....second part of question is leading me a merry dance!!!

 

[Otis]

well since ya didn't go for the half point, i'll jump in and say part a) is 'chanson du toreador' from the opera 'carmen' by Bizet

no idea on part b)

 

[marella jube]

Otis correct with (a) .

Clue for (b) , if '2nd tier' too obscure....think of 'kindred spirit' to RFC... That's probably given it away...

 

[Otis]

balmain?

 

[marella jube]

Indeed ...

Take it away , Otis ...

 

[bairdy380]

Nuts!!...stopped, propped, looked for a better option...."BALL!!!!!"....might change my name to Chubba ;D

 

[Otis]

i probably won't be around to answer this coz i'm about to leave for the weekend, so i'll just ask an easy question so the game can go on over the weekend:

Who was Richmond's leading goalscorer in 1992?
