Usually, the guests on this show - mostly actors and comedians - tend not to have the answers to the sports questions, since the fields of theatre and sport tend to remain somewhat seperate.
However Tristan Black and Anthony Taufa are currently starring in âAlone It Standsâ at The Ensemble Theatre.
Written by the Irish playwright John Breen, it tells the story of the 1978 Rugby Union match between a tiny team of amateurs from the Munster Rugby club in Limerick up against the all-conquering New Zealand national side the All Blacks. The hilarious, moving and heart-warming play has a cast of six, who take on all 62 roles including players, wives, fans, both coaches and even the team dog.

Chris Taylor and Andrew Hansen have a long history of creating comedy and satire for the ABC. Happily, that association is set to continue with their upcoming series âAustralian Epicâ. The 6-part extravaganza that takes some of the countryâs most colourful true stories, and turns them into musicals. From Steve Bradburyâs unlikely gold medal on ice, to Johnny Deppâs illegal importation of his dogs, Pistol and Boo.
But do they know which country had the world's first female prime minister?
