Re: Strange and unusual facts.
Rugby is the national sport of New Zealand, the New Zealand all blacks are the most succcesful International rugby team of all time.
Yet a survey carried out by ANZ found that 1 in 3 Male kiwis between the age of 18-40 not only didn’t know the all time leading try scorer for the All Blacks but when told the answer they’d never heard of him.
And to be fair I’m quite hot on my rugby & id never heard of him.

An old girlfriend of mine, Theresa Jolly, got married recently to a bloke called Chris Goodfellow. I suppose now she's Theresa Jolly-Goodfellow.
I thank you.

Re: Strange and unusual facts.
I know Doug Howlett... but I thought it was Jeff Wilson. Turns out even the 5 tries he scored against Fiji wasn't the most in a match.westlondonlalala wrote: ↑Wed Jul 04, 2018 4:51 pmRugby is the national sport of New Zealand, the New Zealand all blacks are the most succcesful International rugby team of all time.
