Jonah Lomu has once more come into his own, and now holds the record for tries in World Cup history. Aside from Lomu, two other players who have put forth fantastic performances are Gareth Rees of Canada and Gonzalo Quesada of Argentina. Rees, playing in his fourth and last World Cup, didn't miss a single kick at goal during Canada's three games and has a 100 percent record from 19. Quesada is the leading scorer of the tournament with 66 of his countries 83 points. Without a standout performance from any of the players over the weekend, I would have to give Tonga's Taufo'ou the award for the worst sporting incident.
