    Hi all,

    Is there anyone out there doing the Irish Times Six Nations Quiz? Any rugby enthusiasts looking in? Please help: questions 4: Who broke a finger during Ireland's Grand Slam winning match against Wales at the Millennium Stadium in 2009?
    Question 9: Outside of Dublin where else in Ireland might a club have played a fixture at Lansdowne Road?
    Question 14: Who scored Ireland's first ever four point try?

    Any help gratefully accepted!

    Question 4: Stephen Ferris was the player who broke his finger.

    Don't know about the others, sorry.

    Cristofoletto became founder and president of the Italian Association of Rugby coaches. Maybe that had never been done before by a player and that is why it is unusual.

    The brothers are Bergamasco (Italy) and Evans (Scotland) - they represented their respective countries - not played against each other.

    First player to get sent off in a 6 nations match and first to get sent off by getting two yellows in a 6 nations game.
    Pablo Deluca of Argentina was the first referee to send off a player in a Six Nations match when he sent off Walter Cristofoletto of Italy for "vigorous rucking" in Paris when France beat Italy 42-31. In Cristofoletto's case it was actually a yellow card but two yellow cards added up to a red card, which had novelty value of its own.

    Q 19:
    I think Blackrock is the school with the most Lions players - 10, with an extra one - Conal O'Doherty 1977 - he wasn't included in the list of 10, but maybe because he was on the British Lions tour and later it became the British and Irish Lions. Still, a Lions!

    Q 21: Its the GRAND SLAM. dont let the years fool you!
