Congrats Yeah_Right.

Whoops. Forgot about the last round somehow. I would have got 3 of them so I'm gonna put myself on 20 points

Thanks for running this kitten

Correct Answer:
7

Would that not be 5 for the try, which would be any where along the try line and 2 for the converted goal, which has to be specifically through the goal posts?

Wait a second .... Bill Beaumont was a team captain on QoS too. Opposite Emlyn Hughes.

Think the try and conversion combined is 7 points, kitten.

That is correct but that wasn't the question

Yes. That’s what I was thinking. A try isn’t a goal. A conversation is a goal.

I told you that I would school y'all. Suck it Syd!!

Redemption for NZ after last week. World Rugby (Quizz) Champion!!!!!

And to prove what a gracious winner I am, I'm not even going to complain about how I was robbed of a perfect score in the final round. I got question 1 right and question 4 is clearly xenophobic as recent immigrants to Ireland are never going to know that. But I won't complain. Even though I was robbed.

kitten_k

Sorry guys sticking with 7 as the answer for the time being as that is what I meant.

If people really want I can score both 7 and 2 correct but updated table will be later as I am heading out. It would make no difference to the winner.

I just realised I didn't read the answer. It should be 2 points for a conversion surely.

You’re grand, kitten. You ran a good comp.

Well done, yeah right.

If it means beating sK to the joint wooden spoon, then please do that :P

Yeah_Right

And thanks Kitten_K. That was a bit of fun.

I might have hang around the quizz forum a bit more. You're not as angry and crazy as some (most) of the posters on the rugby forum

We’ve bagged another one folks. Should rename the forum Hotel California.

ya deserve it YR... it might take some of the pain for being a Blues / Kiwis fan this year :P

("converted goal" is some old time language, but is technically correct. its interesting that the original scoring was just by means of a 'conversion' after a try was scored... because the term 'try' meant you got a try at kicking the conversion.)

thanks kitten !
that was good fun and like YR i might stick around for some more.. if anything they will be a return to school days

Like Quickbeam, I was certain that Bill Beaumont was right. I havent really watched a Question of Sport in the last 10 years or so but I always watched it with my dad in the 90's lol

Electric Nitwit
