The French hosts just beat the New Zealand All Blacks in the opening match of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. #1 ranked Ireland takes on Romania tomorrow. If the first match is any indication this promises to be one of the most competitive and entertaining World Cups. That being said it will be hard to beat South Africa defeating New Zealand and the legendary Jonah Lomu in post-apartheid South Africa in 1995.
Lomu had four tries in the semi-finals vs. England in 1995 and was a one-man wrecking crew after only having two All Black caps prior to the start of the World Cup.
