Records and statistics of the Rugby World Cup

Okay kiddo, let me explain to you what records and statistics are in the Rugby World Cup.

You know how in school you have grades and you track them to see how well you're doing? Well, the Rugby World Cup is like a big competition for different countries to play rugby. In this competition, teams compete against each other with the hopes of winning and becoming champions.

Now, records and statistics come in to keep track of how well each team is doing in the competition. These numbers tell us who has won the most games, who has scored the most points, and who has the best defense. It's like keeping score in your games of tag on the playground.

The most important statistics are for the winners of the tournament. These stats show who has won the most times, and who has a better win-loss record. It's like keeping score to see who won the most games in a season of tag on the playground, but for rugby instead.

Overall, records and statistics help us see who the best teams are and how well they have done in the Rugby World Cup. It's a way of keeping track of all the exciting moments of the tournament and seeing how each team has grown over time!
