Way back in 1996 I played for Norwich 1st XV in a Norfolk Cup fixture v Eccles & Attleborough RFC . The final score was 177-3 in our favour (as a winger I scored 7 tries that day (making me top try scorer), it was the most tries I ever scored in one match). I believe that officially it was the highest score in competitive rugby union in Great Britain at that point. What ever the situation now, I can confirm that every one of the Norwich players scored on the day except for poor old Barry O' Sullivan (playing at O centre) and Simon Vavasour (at hooker) who crossed the line and touched down but was denied by a (behind the play and very tired) ref. If this score has been bested I am not aware of it but it was a long time ago. Eccles & Attleborough took us to their local pub and led the singing that night, such was the camaraderie of rugby union in those amateur days. To reminisce contact me at edsteed@btinternet.com

The match happened on the Piley Rees Field at the Diocesan College in Cape Town, South Africa. This beat the previous record (also held by Bishops) of 132 points to 5)

JudyThe highest NRL score was the Brisbane Broncos and West Tigers
Broncos won 208 - 0 in 1996
Next was Broncos and Knights
Broncos won 154 - 4
Both games were in the same year.
The highest score in a NRL/ARL/NSWRL game was St George (91) defeating Canterbury (6) in 1935. Source- NRL stats.
excuse me as a tiger fan i must say that they were NOT intruduced into the competiton until 2000
so please explain how the got beat in 96?
so that staticts is wrong unless it was another team
R u one of those stupid BRONCOS FANS
Ok 'Tiger Fan' this was played as a TRIAL game in 1996. It was the Brisbane Broncos (Est. 1988) v.s. Western Suburbs Magpies (Est.1908-1999). He (or she) was just using the modern name for this club (who merged with Balmain Tigers in 1999 to create the West Tigers) I hope this clears everything up.
That is the Highest score in a REGULAR SEASON game. But it does not have the most points in a game by two teams record. Newcastle Knights def. Canberra Raiders 70-32 in RD 2 2006 at Canberra Stadium.
The highest score in international Rugby league was Australia beating Russia 110-4.
