Tigers dominated rugby Quiz for 2002 A lighthearted test of how much you know about what happened to your favourite team and your favourite sport in 2002. I have deliberately not put the questions in chronological order.

We have decided not to take entries for this as marking several times 33 answers with a hangover doesn't appeal. However, Razcal will offer a prize to the person who puts the most wittily evil answer ( I mean wittily evil not just plain aggressive)on a thread. To help the judging keep the thread for this competition pure. Questions 1-30 were set by Razcal and the last 3 by the Evil One. The prize, in honour of one of the setters will be a bottle of wine called "Old Git" from Market Harborough Sainsburys.
