About this word search
The Ranfurly Shield has been played for since 1904 and changes hands only when a challenger beats the holder on its home ground. The Bledisloe Cup is contested with Australia. First five and second five are New Zealand names for positions other countries call fly-half and inside centre.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions, backwards included. Ranfurly Shield is the longest with fourteen letters. Try is the shortest at three, with haka, ruck, maul, prop and lock at four. Fullback and halfback both end in BACK, so check where each one starts. Number eight, sin bin and drop goal run together.
Draw a team sheet with fifteen numbers and fill in as many positions as you can with words from the list.
