Rugby World Cup all-time table

This all-time table compares national teams that have participated in the Rugby World Cup by a number of criteria including matches, wins, losses, draws, total points for, total points against, etc.

The table also shows – among other things – the accumulated points for every team that has ever participated in the tournament. This takes each game as if it were a World Cup pool stage match, with each team awarded four points for a win, two points for a draw and none for a defeat. A team scoring four tries in one match scored a bonus point, as did a team that lost by fewer than eight points.[1]

gollark: If your computer can't handle 200 open tabs is it really capable of web browsing?
gollark: Their graphics drivers also work really well on Linux too. It's weird.
gollark: They have lots of those redundantly.
gollark: I imagine it would still *mostly* work for a while, and people could migrate off.
