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.
