Two all-time Test rugby records were set in this match:
Namibia's 54 points set a new record for the highest score by a losing team. The previous record was set by Wales in their 50–44 loss to Argentina in Tucumán in 2004.
The full-time score of 43–43 was the highest-scoring draw at full-time in history. The previous record was 30–30, set first by South Africa and France at Durban in 2005 and then by Lithuania and Sweden at Kaunas in a 2011 European Nations Cup match.
