I’m following the World Cup hosted in France during September and October, 2007.
The Rugby World Cup is the premier international rugby union competition. … The inaugural tournament was held in 1987, hosted by both Australia and New Zealand, and is now contested every four years.
The winners are awarded the William Webb Ellis Cup, named after the Rugby School pupil credited with the game’s invention. The tournament is one of the largest international sporting competitions in the world. The title of world champion is currently held by England, who won the 2003 tournament held in Australia.
The next World Cup will go to New Zealand in 2011. I’d love to get there. The Kiwis are #2 all time on the World Cup results list but everybody knows they should be #1.
Except this guy who bet $152,000 on the Aussies.
I love their fierce warrior chant called the Haka.
Click PLAY or watch the All Blacks doing the pre-game Haka on YouTube.
