NZ as a rank outsider and either worst or second worst ranked team at the 2010 WC (I can't remember which) managed a draw against the defending champions. What's the closest a country like Romania, Russia, Georgia, etc has got to beating one of the big boys at the RWC?

 

in 1981 the All Blacks beat Romania 14-6 and the Romanians had 2 tries disallowed. They have competed in all 7 world cups, won their group at one.


However this now difressed from the original thread but then if someone hadn't questioned me, perhaps it would not have been sidetracked. Job well done by one person.
