Spring is here, the grass is riz, it's still ten days until the Prelim iz.

What better time to roll out another quiz?  As usual, you need to work out the common factor with these players.

Answers in a PM please so we can keep it going a bit longer.

From everyone’s favourite spelling pedant, this is bemusing. 😄

Riz and iz rhyme with quiz!

Something to do with the footy media?

Hardtack has correctly identified the connection and is today's silver medallist.

As usual, Mazer Rackham was first to crack it open in seconds flat and wins the gold medal.

Bronze still up for grabs.

I've just had something unexpected crop up and will be away from the computer until tomorrow.  Rather than keep people dangling, I'll reveal that the answer is all the players share a surname with a comedian (their names in purple).

Nice to see you recognise Frankie Boyle in your side Demonstone, albeit on the bench. Personally I'd be building my side around him. As for the answer to your quiz however I have no idea unfortunately.

If only I'd thought about it a bit more. It's not like there are a lot of people to choose from with the surname Dangerfield.

Please keep it up Demonstone. I enjoy the challenge.
