New Zealand won the first ever rugby world cup beating France in the final
AnswerIn my true sporting opinion, the greatest ever sports team in ANY sport would have to be the New Zealand All Blacks, rugby's most successful team ever.In over a hundred years of rugby, the All Blacks hold an 84% winning record against all oppostion played. They have also won 74% of all test matches played, and hold a winning record against EVERY TEST NATION IN THE WORLD (including the British & Irish Lions, and the World XV).Romania (the best team in Eastern Europe), Canada (the best team in North America), Japan (the best in Asia), and other World Rugby Heavyweights Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Argentina, Samoa, and Fiji have never beaten New Zealand.The average margin when playing the All Blacks is 25-12- that is, they have scored more than twice the amount of points than all opposition combined.New Zealand is so good, that they have never been ranked lower than 3rd on the World Rankings. In 1987, they were crowned the first ever Rugby World Champions beating France in the final 29-9.Since 1996, when rugby became professional, the All Blacks have played 149 games, winning 121. Their victories have lead to 9 Tri-Nations Championships in 13 years, play-off appearances in every World Cup to date, a first ever test series victory in South Africa, 7 undefeated tours to Europe; including 2 Grand Slams Tours(when a team plays England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales in succesive weeks and win), a test series whitewash against the British & Irish Lions, a World record 30 test victories in a row on home soil (spanning five years), the Bledisloe Cup, and the Hillary Shield.Only five test nations IN HISTORY have ever beaten the All Blacks- Australia, South Africa, France, England, and Wales (who have not beaten New Zealand since 1954). The most successful team to ever play New Zealand is South Africa (winning just 40% of the time), while Australia have won the most times (39 victories from 132 matches).This small, tiny nation boasts a player pool of just 90,000- yet they provide the bulk of the Rugby Hall of Fame.Not even the great Brazilian Football Team can match the proud winning record of New Zealand. The same applies to Canada in Ice Hockey, Australia in Cricket, or any professional sports team from the United States.The All Blacks. LEGENDS.

Where ever there were blacks! The history of the many cultures is diverse and covers a large area of the world including the Americans and Africa, parts of Asia and Europe.

Rugby is described as a rough game played by gentlemen. So to answer your stupid question NO
The original Ellis Park played host to the largest ever crowd at a rugby game in South Africa in 1955, when 100 000 spectators saw the Springboks go down 23-22 to the British Lions. This held the record for largest rugby union crowd for roughly 40 years until the 1990's
The New Zealand All Blacks have a 94.8% success rate
The New Zealand All Blacks won the rugby union world cup in 1987, beating France in the final round 29 - 9
Arguably the first ever Rugby game was in Rugby school Worcestershire England, when William Webb Ellis picked up the football and ran with it. But the first organised game is between the houses of Rugby school (Houses being their boarding houses) after Webb Ellis and two others wrote a book documenting the rules of Rugby.
