The first-ever try in RWC was a penalty try in the New-Zealand v Italy tournament opener in May 1987. Referee Bob Fordham (Australia) awarded it to New Zealand after 14 minutes when Italy's captain Marzio Innocenti dived into a scrum as the All Blacks were going for a pushover try.

The first player to score a try was Michael Jones. The flanker, who was making his New Zealand debut, scored from a blind-side move after hooker Sean Fitzpatrick had taken a scrum against the head.
