	2003 Rugby World Cup Event Guide - Teams - United States
		One of the ironies of world rugby is that the Americans are the Olympic champions, winning the gold medal in 1924 when the once strictly amateur sport made its final appearance at the Olympics.
		Rugby is still a long way from being the first-choice sport for the States' best athletes, a situation that is unlikely to change because of the mass appeal of gridiron, basketball and baseball.
		The World Cup is the one opportunity the Eagles get to spread their wings against the best but their record is poor and their prospects are no better this time.

		The 1995 Rugby Union World Cup in South Africa was a uniquely resonant sporting spectacle which thrilled TV millions across the world--that the battling Springboks should triumph on behalf of the fledgling Rainbow Nation was pure Disney.
		From his rugby education fighting for the honour of Transvaal--both on and off the pitch--through the glory years captaining an all-conquering Springboks side as they stormed the national stage after decades in the wilderness, to his self-imposed exile in the English game with Saracens, Rainbow Warrior is Pienaar's largely unsentimental reflection on an extraordinary career.
		In one of the most important rugby books of the last three decades, the former captain of South Africa's 1995 World Cup winning side reveals his compelling career story and his remarkable role in the historic re-emergence of the Rainbow Nation onto the world stage.

		The record crowds attracted to Rugby League World Cup Finals in New Zealand (46,000 in 1988) and in England (73,631 in 1992) is a pointer to the interest that this tournament can generate for the game of rugby league.
