The viewers of the university challenge remained 'spread and disappointed' after the participants did not answer a specific question about a recent episode.

The BBC show, organized by Amol Rajan, 41, saw Queen's University Belfast playing against Cardiff University for a place in the quarterfinals on January 27.

However, a question about the deceased rugby legend Rob Burrow threw both teams away when no one could answer it.

Amol asked: “Which former Leeds Rhinos player was made a MBE in the Honors list of 2021 for Rugby services and awareness of the disease awareness, which made the diagnosis of the MND in 2019?”

After a short break, the host said, “Everyone?” Before you reveal the answer: 'No? I'll tell you. It was the big Rob Burrow. '

Some fans of the show remained surprised about the inability of the participants to answer the question and went to X to express their opinion.

A posted: 'As an Irish person I was really happy with Qub. But yes, really disappointed that nobody knew. I hope it wasn't a generation, Rob was a total legend. '

Another said: 'Questions about Snooker, the attempted merger of Oxford United & Reading and the Great Rob Burrow and the students at #universityChallenge did not get them well. What are students talking about nowadays? '

While someone else wrote: 'Some things they know are amazing, but how the hell knew about Rob Burrow? #UniversityChallenge. '

Another viewer noticed: “I think they are rather young students … and maybe have not watched mainstream television.”

A fourth wrote: “Nobody knew Rob Burrow #uiversitychallenge.”

While someone easily placed: “The Great Rob Burrow – Rip #uiversitychallenge.”

At the end of the round, Queen's University Belfast won with 180 points, while Cardiff 70 scored.
