Rugby World Cup Quiz Round 1

With the excitement so very nearly upon us, I thought there would be no better way to celebrate than with a good old fashioned, rugby world cup quiz. Although the first round doesn’t seem to have too many tight calls I came across a stat that might make the opening game that little bit more interesting. On two of the three occasions that Fiji have played at Twickenham, they’ve scored 23 or more points, England have only scored over 28 points in the first round of the world cup once. Could make the group of death, even more deadly.

Still, that has nothing at all to do with the quiz, no prize as yet, always open to offers, enjoy.
