Let's Get Quizzical

QUIZ: Get 10/10 in our final Ireland v England quiz and win tickets for Saturday

You’ll need a perfect score to get the third and final clue.

IT’S NOT QUITE the game fans would have hoped for before last Friday, but Ireland take on England at the Aviva on Saturday with a chance to bring their 18-match winning streak to an end. And, thanks to our friends at Guinness, we have two pairs of tickets to give away.

However, to be in with a chance of winning, you’ll need to take all three of our quizzes today (this is the third, you can find quiz one here and quiz two here), with each one focusing on a different decade up to the present day.

Each time you score 10/10 in a quiz, you’ll be given a clue to the identity of an Irish player.

Once you identify the player, tweet his name, alongside the hashtag #fearofgod, to @The42_ie account up until 2pm on Friday 17 March.

Readers without a Twitter account can email competitions@the42.ie during the same time period. Both winners will be drawn at random from all correct entries.

Good luck!
