  • This was the 18th consecutive Test match win for Cyprus, a new world record. The previous record of 17 was held jointly by New Zealand, South Africa, and Lithuania. (Although International Rugby Board records credit Lithuania with 18 consecutive wins from 2006 to 2010, ESPN Scrum pointed out that this streak should be reduced by one, as this 18-match sequence in fact included one loss.)[18]
