I thought Brian McKenchie (he faced the underarm of TC) played both as well? Or did he only play ODI?
No Brian Mckechnie never played Tests, while there are others who played Cricket Tests and played for All Blacks but not in official All Black Tests.

Q8 Playing in tests and rugby?
No. That would involve at least 30-40 players.

You are on the right track ...but this is an exclusive club of 8 .

In fact your answer is correct in a sense ,but there is more to it than just that.

No ...Not sure if I understood you correctly there.:)
Okay let me put it differntly

- Is it players from the same country who have played cricket and another sport

- If not is it players from one country who have played cricket at international level and also played another sport. One of the two sports for another country.
