5. Cardiff Blues were founded in which year? Clue >2000
Clue >2000 should have helped a few people. Someone managed to put 1920 as an answer. Being the kindly soul I am I let him change a few of the answers that included a ">" in the question. I won't name names but I'm sure he'll hold his hand up at some point.
The Blues formed in 2003.
Quite a few correct answers for this.
Tighty 2003 0
Berger 2003 0
Karamd 2003 0
Juperj 2002 1
Arbboy 2004 1
Karab 2004 1
Dacorb 2001 2
Scotty 2005 2
Celtic. 2006 3
Pokerp 2008 5
Bunnyd 2008 5
Doobs 2009 6
Nirvana 2010 7
Ironsid 2010 7
Dacorb stays top, Tighty climbs into the top three. Celtic continues his to five dominance. Only 50 points separating third from last but one. Scotty unfortunately adrift without a paddle.
Dacorb 69
Arbboy 86
Tighty 93
Ironsid 96
Celtic. 99
Doobs 103
Karamad 109
Berger 112
Bunnyd 118
Nirvana 123
Juperj 129
Pokerp 141
Karab 144

6. The Millennium Stadium hosted all major Football matches when Wembley closed for Re-development. It became known as the “away team hoodoo” when the first how many matches were won by the team in the home dressing room?
An incredible 11 matches won by the home team. I did think a Football nerd would know this and it seems there are two amongst us. one I'm sure everyone would have had money on.
Tighty 11 0
Juperj 11 0
Karmad 12 1
Doobs 10 1
Berger 9 2
Nirvana 13 2
Bunnyd 8 3
Arbboy 8 3
Scotty 15 4
Karab 7 4
Dacorb 5 6
Pokerp 5 6
Celtic. 5 6
Ironsid 25 14
Tighty with his third win on the spin but not enough to leapfrog Dacorb and Arbboy. Big blunder by Ironside which could cost him dearly. Lots of people bunching in mid table. The next question could be make or break.
Dacorb 75
Arbboy 89
Tighty 93
Doobs 104
Celtic. 105
Karmad 110
Ironsid 110
Berger 114
Bunnyd 121
Nirvana 125
Juperj 129

7. Wales played England at the Arms Park in the last International match there in 1997. Bowing out in that match were two legends, Jonathan Davies and Will Carling. How many caps did they have between them, Rugby Union only? Clue > 100
This was Tighty's answer:
7. 113 obviously jiffy went to RL so its something like 35 and high 70s
It was actually 37 for Jonathan Davies and 72 for Will Carling., 109 in total.
I was at the dinner for this game and both were called to the head table to be awarded commemorative caps as they had both announced their retirement in the lead up to the game. And then, like so many of us have had to do in Rugby Clubs up and down the Country, they had to down a pint of Strongbow. They were both shite.
Tighty 113 4
Doobs 120 11
Dacorb 130 21
Berger 136 27
Nirvana 140 31
Arbboy 142 33
Ironsid 150 41
Bunnyd 150 41
Scotty 165 56
Karmad 165 56
Pokerp 177 68
Celtic. 187 78
Karab 199 90
Juperj 203 94
Dacorb keeps the lead he has held since round two, just. Tighty with his fourth win moves ominously into second. Doobs makes a rare venture into the top three. Arb and Berger make up the top five. Are Ironside, Bunny, Nirvana and Karmadope out of it?
Dacorb 96
Tighty 97
Doobs 115
Arbboy 122
Berger 141
Ironsid 151
Nirvana 156
Bunnyd 162
Karmad 166

I know the answer with Tighty, not sure about you Bud? Good guess if you didn't know.

8. Billy Hardy holds Cardiff City’s record appearance with how many games under his belt? Clue > 500
FA Cup hero, Billy Hardy amassed 590 caps, playing until he was 41 years old.
Tighty 600 10
Karmad 600 10
Ironsid 600 10
Karab 619 29
Bunnyd 620 30
Dacorb 550 40
Doobs 550 40
Berger 540 50
Celtic. 652 62
Pokerp 522 68
Scotty 666 76
Arbboy 675 85
Nirvana 750 160
Juperj 765 175
Tighty has now won the last five rounds and Dacorb finally succumbs to the relentless bombardment from the Leicester Tiger. Bad round for Arbboy sees him slip out of the top five. Ironside and Karmadope make a late charge and Scotty moves off bottom as Juperj proves he isn't a Football nerd as I might have implied earlier.
Tighty 107
Dacorb 136
Doobs 155
Ironsid 161
Karmad 176
Berger 191
Bunnyd 192
Arbboy 207
Celtic. 245
Karab 267

9. One of the great Rugby upsets was St Peters RFC beating Cardiff RFC in the Swalec Cup. Many people felt the Ref tried his hardest to give Cardiff a chance to win. How many minutes injury time was there in the second half?
Another one I was lucky enough to be at. Here's a video of the closing moments.
If you watch it you'll notice the scoreboard where the Cardiff Groundsmen had added another digit, so sure that Cardiff were going to ring up a cricket score. The ref added a ludicrous 8 minutes but St Peters held on.
Juperj 7 1
Karab 9 1
Ironsid 10 2
Celtic. 11 3
Dacorb 11 3
Doobs 12 4
Pokerp 12 4
Arbboy 12 4
Tighty 13 5
Berger 13 5
Scotty 15 7
Bunnyd 15 7
Karmad 15 7
Nirvana 16 8
Juper j and Karabiner closest but no big swings sees Tighty remain top. Dacorb looks to have sealed second place and Doobs and Ironside now battling for third spot.
Tighty 112
Dacorb 139
Doobs 159
Ironsid 163
Karmad 183
Berger 196
Bunnyd 199
Arbboy 211
Celtic. 248
Karab 268
Pokerp 287
Nirvana 324
Scotty 375
Juperj 399

10. The great Jonah Lomu played for Cardiff Blues for one season. How many tries did he score?
Unfortunately for Cardiff, Lomu signed after having two seasons out when he had a kidney transplant. He only played ten times before breaking his ankle and scored only the one try.
A huge swing in the top five as one Rugby legend got it spot on and another had a mare.
Ironsid 1 0
Tighty 0 1
Juperj 3 2
Berger 6 5
Arbboy 9 8
Bunnyd 10 9
Scotty 10 9
Dacorb 12 11
Pokerp 12 11
Celtic. 14 13
Karmad 15 14
Karab 19 18
Nirvana 25 24
Doobs 25 24
And as easy as you like Tighty wins another. A valiant effort by Dacorb sees him come runner up. And third place goes to...……
Tighty 113
Dacorb 150
Ironsid 163
Doobs 184
Karmad 197
Berger 201
Bunnyd 208
Arbboy 219
Celtic. 261
Karab 286
Pokerp 298
Nirvana 348
Scotty 384
Juperj 401
Ironside pips Doobs to a top three spot. Karmadope smashes another top five. Arbboy. who ran hot early on drops back to middle table. Scotty and Juperj rue a big score.
Sorry if you didn't get a mention along the way. Thanks to everyone for entering. How's your knowledge on all things Leicester?
Stay safe all.

Thanks Rubbish. It's only right that I avoided the relegation places as my dad was born and bred in Cardiff.
