	2011 Rugby World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At a meeting of the International Rugby Board (IRB) held in Dublin on 17 November 2005, New Zealand was selected as the host country in preference to Japan and South Africa.
		It was believed to be the desire of the International Rugby Board (IRB) to move the tournament from the hands of the traditional rugby nations such as New Zealand and South Africa.
		There was belief throughout the rugby community that the organisation of the Rugby World Cup would be overshadowed by the organisation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

	1987 Rugby World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Rugby World Cup was hosted by both New Zealand and Australia in 1987, and was won by the New Zealand.
		Seven of the 16 places were automatically filled by the International Rugby Football Board members – New Zealand, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and France – with South Africa unable to compete because of the international sports boycott due to apartheid.
		It is therefore no surprise that five of the seven highest-scoring Rugby World Cup matches were witnessed during this tournament, a statistic that is echoed in the ‘most points by an individual’ and ‘most tries by a team’ statistics.

		Serge Blanco captained the French side in the 1991 Rugby World Cup before retiring after their quarter-final defeat by England on 19 October 1991.

	Rugby World Cup History
		The IRB Rugby World Cup (RWC) is now one of the the world's top three sporting competitions(the Olympics and the World Cup of Soccer being the other two).
		This piece of rugby history is also believed to have been used by Albert E. Freethy in the final of the 1924 Olympics in Paris when the United States beat hosts France 17-13 at the Colombes Stadium - the last time the sport of rugby union featured in the Games.
		The whistle has been housed in the New Zealand Rugby Museum since 16 April 1969 when they held their inaugural function, having been given by Stan Dean, who for many years was the chairman of the NZRFU and manager of the 1924/25 All Blacks.

		Tom Billups' hopes for the World Cup are modest to say the least, and simply winning a game would not be the sole aim of most coaches sending out an American sports team.
		But rugby union does not hold nearly the same sway as other sports in the US and Billups, coach of the Eagles, knows they are currently fighting a tough battle to entice American youngsters away from the 'big four' of basketball, baseball, gridiron and ice hockey.
		As well as the 1987 World Cup win, the US have beaten Japan 11 times in 15 meetings, including a 74-5 thrashing in 1986 and a 69-27 win in their last clash in May.
