The Overlap

      How to play

      Two rugby players are linked if they played in the same Test match. Same team or opposite teams, both count.

      1. Warm-up

      We show you two Springboks. Name any player who was in a match with both of them.

      Bryan Habana and Victor Matfield
      You type: John Smit ✓ Correct
      All three played in the 2007 World Cup final.

      2. The Link

      The same game, but harder. These two never played against each other, so you need someone who played with both.

      3. The Chain

      Get from one player to another, one match at a time. Each name must have played in a match with the name before it.

      Jonny Wilkinson → Bryan Habana → Siya Kolisi
      Wilkinson played against Habana in the 2007 final. Habana played with Kolisi at the 2015 World Cup.
