Belgian rugby club Kituro beat rival Soignies 356-3 in a top division game. From what I can gather, this is the world record score for an official game of rugby.


Apparently the ref didn't pitch up and by the time they found a substitute ref over an hour later, half of the Soignies players had gone home so the remaining players just stood on the field in protest while the Kituro players ran in 56 tries!


The full article can be read here (and includes some video footage) but that article doesn't answer the question that came to my mind . . . where did the 3 points for Soignies come from?

 Moola - more likely one of the Kituro players aiming a drop goal at the wrong goal posts.

The club was founded in 1973 and has never won the Belgian Elite League but recently won the Belgian Cup for the first time.

In 2015, RC Soignies were beaten by a record 356-3 by Royal Kituro. The referee for the fixture arrived over an hour after the scheduled start time, during this period, most of the Soignies players left as they believed the match had been cancelled. The remaining players seemingly allowed the Kituro players to run unchallenged to score 56 tries and 38 conversions as a protest.
