The Rugby Piper
Christmas Quiz 2020
We thought it might be a good idea to have something to do when all the
presents have been unwrapped, you have had enough of turkey and trimmings
and there is nothing worth watching on the TV- so here is a fun quiz for all
Rugby fans. It is a Santa’s Home Na ons Seasonal Special.
Fi een ques ons on each of the four teams (no “impact replacement”
ques ons in Rugby Memories). See how you and your friends, family members,
team-mates and colleagues get on. A grandparent with an interest in Rugby
might be useful. In the true spirit of the game- no reference books and no
Googling! You should complete each sec on in the me it takes to set a scrum
these days. Answers will be given on Boxing Day.
