4. Most defeats at Rugby World Cups

Romania flanker Ovidiu Toniţa set a new record at the 2015 World Cup by participating in his 12th losing World Cup match after representing his country at five tournaments between 1999 and 2015.

5. Quickest red card

English referee Fred Howard warned Codey for trampling on Welshmen at a ruck within the first minute of the playoff in 1987. When he did it again in the fifth minute, Codey was gone.

6. Most upsets

Wales have had the most upsets in the Rugby World Cup, having lost to Samoa both in 1991 and 1999, then losing to Fiji in 2007. Other major upsets include France losing to Tonga in 2011 and South Africa losing to Japan in 2015.

7. Huge defeat

Namibia was crushed 142-0 by Australia in 2003 with the Wallabies scoring 22 tries. Ouch.
