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.
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 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.
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.
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?
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 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 Pokerp 147 Karab 148 Scotty 236
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.
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.
4. Bleddyn Williams, the Price of Centres holds the record of most tries in one season for Cardiff RFC in the 1947/48 season. He scored how many Tries?
Ironside expected to do well in this one as he was a young Man in 1947/48 and saw the great Bleddyn Williams play live so he told me! Scotty with a major blip.
Dacorb with another great answer taking a decent sized lead from our Scottish friends. Tighty struggling and a Leicestershire quiz looking very unlikely at the moment.
1. Millennium Stadium has a capacity for Rugby Union at 73,9??
Wikipedia has the capacity for Rugby and Football as the same? Worst day of my life was when the Stadium took over from Wembley for hosting Football matches. I was summonsed to the South Wales Police and told that as I was in charge of planning the segregation for Football matches I would be formally charged if any failures on my part led to unrest or worse in the Stadium, with the minimum outcome for me being a custodial sentence. Because of that I know that there are two different capacities for Rugby and Football.

Roll up, roll up, still time for more people to join in. We have 12 brave souls so far with what can only be described as an 1000/1 shot in the top three.
I've stupidly forgotten that I've helped out Glamorgan in the past so could have thrown a Cricket question in as well!
