France 96 Namibia 0, I'm not sure what the answer is but, surely an extra qualifying round before the actual Finals could be merited. 🤔
In order to avoid these results, you'd need to reduce the number of countries reaching the finals. The record WC score was Japan getting thumped by the All Blacks 145-17, all part of their development. Japan can now hold there own. Countries like Namibia, Portugal, Romania etc have earned their right to compete. For their fans and especially players, getting thumped by one of the big boys at the World Cup will probably be their greatest moment in the sport.
