Rugby World Cup trivia

Who was the player paralysed in the 1995 Rugby World Cup and what country was he playing for?

I think it's been half and half so far hasn't it? Can't help it if the All Blacks are such a prominent team in world rugby....

Remind me again who has won the most World Cups? The All Blacks are just the most prominent chockers in world rugby.

 

[Smudge]

Chockers? The only thing the All Blacks have ever had to do with a plane was when they stupidly painted the front row on the nose of a 747 in 1999...

I know it was a guy from the Ivory Coast....but no idea what his name was. He played in the backs though I think.

He was playing for the Ivory Coast (v the sweaties?), but dunno his name without cheating.

EDIT: Beaten to it.

From some reason i think the Pacific Island sides all missed, got no idea why maybe quaification issues. South Africa miss early one due having an international ban. Guess USA, Canada, Japan, Argentina and Italy qualified for every World Cup due to easy qualifiers.

Yup. Bennett a closet rah-rah, clearly.

Your turn, fella.

 

[steds]

Which nation has conceded the most points at World Cups, with how many?

Edit. Actually, is it really fair to ask how many and expect you to actually get it without cheating? Suppose I'll give you 10 either side or something

 

[chaminda_00]

Romania?

 

[steds]

Nope.
