Greatest World Records in Rugby

[@linalmeemow]

That Thorburn penalty is unbelievable. No kicking tee or sand back then, old heavy wet leather ball, heavy wet surface (not like the pitches of today), 70s boots - it really shouldn't have been possible.

Yeah theres a few here in seems like because Frans Steyn has nailed a 66M penalty kick before, here is listed only 63M for a Welsh dude i think

[@columjohn8766]

Most famous try has to be Gareth Edwards against NZ for the BaBaas. Could have had longest pass? Most tackles in a game Most tackles in a season Longest time not missing a kick...could be Neil Jenkins that! Longest time not missing a tackle Most tries scored in a game So many more.

[@amk3742]

Most tackles in a game (Test rugby)... 38 tackles..Thierry Dusautoir vs NZ 2007 RWC. Unless there's a higher tackle count im missing

[@jameswyatt4443]

There’s no way. Maybe 5% of rugby fans today know that try. The most famous try is definitely Lomu when he ran over Mike Catt.

How do you measure famousness?

Famousness is measured using Buncett-Percival scale

The bench record is "only" 200kg, it's not so surprising for a 135kg player. For example Julien Ory, top 14 player weighing only 95kg did the same... I think other massives players can do better...

Didn't you know South Africans aren't allowed to be mentioned here.

[@shroomdreams]

Are they crying for being the most successful nation?

[@SheSoForeign]

@@shroomdreams don’t make me laugh - New Zealand ran laps around South Africa - they will never catch up in your lifetime. Google how many times New Zealand beat them. Still 20 more wins against NZ to classify as the most successful rugby nation.

[@shroomdreams]

@@SheSoForeign I reckon the 2013-2014 Kiwis team is arguably the best in the world, but the best nation in the world would have to go to the country with the most world cups (and remember the Boks have played in two fewer world cups than all blacks, which gives them an even higher ratio of wins in World Cups). Kiwis are dominant and beating them is an achievement - an achievement that the Boks have accomplished more than any other team in the world - and that's only including the games from 1994 onwards (post-democracy in South Africa). I vouch for the fact that they should only include the records of the democratic South Africa but go look at the history before and you'll see the results are a lot closer. FYI, I'm a Kiwis fan

[@SheSoForeign]

@@shroomdreams still doesn’t change a thing - for South Africa to be deemed the most successful rugby nation is a lie, it’s simple they are not because it’s always been New Zealand- no other country has dominated each branch of rugby - 7’s, union & league, Even the black ferns dominate women’s rugby. I’m not referring to world cups, those mean very little. It’s okay if you like South Africa they are a good opponent, but they are far from the most successful or even the best.
