Royal Kituro win 356-3: Belgian rugby club claim record victory

A Belgian rugby team playing in the country's top division has won a game 356-3.

The match saw Royal Kituro run in 56 tries and 38 conversions to Soignies' lone drop-goal - which equates to more than four points a minute on average.

The problems began for Soignies in the run-up to the game when the referee failed to turn up on time.

The away team's coach and most of the players then left, assuming the game was off.

However the referee did eventually appear, more than an hour after the scheduled kick-off, and the game went ahead - but with only 16 Soignies players available.

Soignies president Guy Calomme described the result as "catastrophic", while a Kituro spokeswoman said Soignies "didn't really play".

When i played School rugby the ref would abandon the match if we were thrashing the other side so badly

A try every 85 seconds, when you consider it usually takes more than a minute to take a conversion and restart the game that is great going. You can really call this a cricket score.

With the next practice the loosing teams caoch tell his players to take there places on the field "they all ran and stand behind the goalpost"
