	1995 Rugby League World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The forthcoming Super League war hung over the tournament, with the Australian Rugby League refusing to pick players who had signed for the rival competition.

		As England's players were driven into town to celebrate their historic World Cup final success in the early hours of yesterday morning, the team bus stopped at a set of traffic lights.
		Rugby union has never sought to be the new rock 'n' roll but in the past 24 hours it has been doing a passable impression.
		There has never been a more extraordinary World Cup final than their extra-time victory over a gallant Australian side on Saturday and the chances of a low-key return to Heathrow in the early hours of tomorrow are somewhere between slight and non-existent.

		The Rugby World Cup (RWC) is one of the world's top four sporting competitions and the Aussies have been keen to dominate it.

	World Cup
		However, the long drawn-out format was clearly unsatisfactory and in 1995, the game’s centenary was celebrated with an entirely different type of World Cup in England and Wales.
		Launched by Diana Ross, the Centenary World Cup saw large crowds throughout England and Wales enthralled by the skill and determination of PNG and the South Sea Island teams.
		The Millennium World Cup unfortunately failed to capture the imagination of the British public to the same extent as the 1995 tournament.

		The Bartercard Cedars won the Mediterranean Cup last year in Tripoli after a convincing victory over World Cup quarter-finalists France, but the defence of their crown will be tested by the introduction of Serbia and powerful Morocco into the arena, as well as by the return of a French side intent on revenge.
		Rugby star and captain Hazem al-Masri, also known as al-Magic in Australia, said leading Lebanon to an international victory in its home-soil debut was equal to winning his first Australian Test cap.

	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.

	Bring the Rugby League World Cup back! Petition
		Rugby League World Cup history stretches back as far as 1954 when Great Britain came from behind to beat France 16-12, even Union's World Cup only came into existance in 1987.
		Sure the 2000 World Cup was clouded with poor decisions and planning and sadly it is remembered for the all wrong reasons by most people but cast your minds back to the fantastic Centenary World Cup of 1995 even though it was played during the Super League war it was a great success.
		Today Rugby League is growing all over the world, sadly it does this relatively on it's own with little help from the big league nations of Australia, Great Britain and New Zealand.
