In the New Zealand v Italy openeing match of the event no one actually scored the first try in World Cup rugby (it was a penalty try); - Michael Jones became the first individual try-scorer
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.
Andrew Mehrtens has scored the most points in test rugby for New Zealand. Playing at first five, between 1995 and 2004 Andrew accumulated 967 points from 70 tests for the All Blacks.
Michael Jones, New Zealand, scored the first try in World Cup Rugby in NZ vs Italy 1987, but the first score of the match was a penalty try so the first person to score any points in that game was Grant Fox who converted the penalty try.
Demetrio Albertini scored Italy's first penalty in the World Cup final. Franco Baresi has missed with his kick. If you're talking about the entire World Cup, then Roberto Baggio scored from the spot for Italy in the last 16s against Nigeria.
Midfielder, Alama Ieremia, scored the very first Super 12 try, for the Hurricanes in their loss to the Blues on the first of March, 1996.
