Here we take a look at the unwanted Rugby World Cup records

England became the first sole host nation to be eliminated in the pool stages of a Rugby World Cup in 2015. Wales, as joint hosts, were eliminated in the pool stages in 1991.

Japan is the only team to have ever won three matches and not progressed beyond the Group Stage, having lost to South Africa and Scotland in their pool by points difference in 2015. Very unlucky.

Of the Tier One nations, Italy is the only one not to have made it to at least the quarter-finals in any Rugby World Cup. Conversely, three Tier Two countries have made it to the quarter-finals - Fiji in 1987 and 2007, Canada in 1991 and Samoa (then called Western Samoa) in 1991 and 1995.

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.

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.

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.

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