Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which team finished top of pool C?

Answer: New Zealand

New Zealand topped pool C in convincing fashion, scoring 309 points in four games for an average of 77.25 points per match.
2. Which team was competing in their first world cup?

Answer: Portugal

Portugal competed in their first rugby World Cup. They became the last team to qualify for the tournament after beating Uruguay on aggregate. Not surprisingly, Portugal lost all four of their matches.
3. Which team gave away the most yellow cards?

Answer: Italy

Italy had 3 players sent to the sin bin in their four pool games, 2 more than the other four teams in pool C. The players to be given a yellow card were Salvatore Perugini versus New Zealand, Marco Bortolami versus Portugal, and Mauro Bergamasco against Scotland.
4. Which former French scrumhalf was the coach for Italy?

Answer: Pierre Berbizier

Pierre Berbizier led the Italians to the 2007 rugby World Cup. Italy won two of their four games against Romania and Portugal, but failed to advance to the quarterfinals. Berbizier was replaced as coach after the World Cup by former South African coach Nick Mallett.
5. Which former All Black did Doug Howlett pass as New Zealand's all-time leading try scorer?

Answer: Christian Cullen

Doug Howlett passed Christian Cullen's record of 46 tries for the All Blacks by scoring two tries in New Zealand's 40-0 win over Scotland. Howlett finished with 49 tries for the All Blacks in 62 tests. Howlett signed a four year deal with Irish club side Munster, the same club that Cullen joined in 2003.
6. Who scored the only try for Portugal against New Zealand?

Answer: Rui Cordeiro

Portugal substitute Rui Cordeiro scored his sides only try against New Zealand in their pool C match played in Lyon. The Portuguese amateurs battled bravely but were thrashed by their more experienced rivals, 108-13.
7. Which two teams were held scoreless in their pool C matches?

Answer: Scotland and Romania

Scotland and Romania were both held scoreless by their opposition in their pool C matches. Scotland failed to score a point in their 40-0 loss to New Zealand, and Romania were held to a 42-0 defeat by Scotland.
8. Who missed a penaly goal for Italy four minutes before full time against Scotland?

Answer: David Bortolussi

Italian fullback David Bortolussi missed a penalty goal with four minutes to go against Scotland. The miss was crucial as Scotland won 18-16 and secured a quarterfinal place at Italy's expense.
9. What colour jerseys did new Zealand wear against Scotland?

Answer: Grey

New Zealand wore their alternative grey uniform against Scotland to avoid a clash of colours with Scotland's dark blue uniform. The two teams were almost unrecognisable at the breakdown as the two teams looked very similar from a distance. New Zealand won the match 40-0.
10. Who was the Potruguese captain for their match against Romania?

Answer: Joaquim Ferreira

Portugal hooker Joaquim Ferreira was the captain for Portugal's 14-10 loss to Romania. Number 8 Vasco Uva captained Portugal in their other three games against Scotland, New Zealand, and Italy.
