Didn't see this until now - I am. Though I'm about as useful in a table quiz as... I dunno, David Brent maybe.

I love a good quiz and it's for a great cause. I'll rustle up a team and be there anyway :D
The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

Well done to all who organised and attended.....it seems to have been a very successful night judging from reports.

Hope to make the next one as circumstances wouldn't allow on this occasion...

Rugby related: Name the NIQ players who started the 2009 H Cup final, same for the 2011 final. We were also asked to name the four World Cup winners who have played for Leinster since 2000.

Non-rugby: What is 'metachrosis'? What children's book had a main character called 'Anne Shirley'?

The 2nd/3rd place tie breaker was so random: in the 1986 Spanish Eurovision entry "La, La, La", how many las were there?

The picture round was little bits of rugby crests, and you had name the team. Just as happened last year, we were scuppered by the picture round.

Non-rugby: What is 'metachrosis'? Haven't a scooby!

What children's book had a main character called 'Anne Shirley'? Not a clue.

Impressively, one of the tie break teams got within two of the correct number of las. I was talking to them afterwards, and one of the women knew the song, and so worked it out.

Metachrosis is the ability of some animals to change colour. Anne of Green Gables was the book. And you got all of the rugby ones spot on.
