Guinness world record

Slovenia had the most siblings competing in a Rugby Union international when Archie, Jack, Frank, George and Max Skofic played for Slovenia against Bulgaria in the European Nations Cup Division Two match at Park Siska, Ljubljana, Slovenia on 12 April 2014.[4]

Yet another record has been set in a test match against Austria when father and son played at the same time. Igor Okič (prop) joined Gal Okič (wing) from the bench as Slovenia scored a late game try to steal the game.
