Rugby World Cup Greatest Games

A History in 50 Matches

About this book

The Rugby World Cup has only been in existence since 1987, yet already it is established as the sport's premier competitionā€”six weeks of frenzied action which entrances all the rugby-playing nations. The tournament has thrown up countless memorable matches, introduced us to amazing players, and witnessed some incredible scoresā€”from Michael Jones scoring the first World Cup try to the legendary All Blacks regaining the trophy in a titanic struggle with France 24 years later. In between we have witnessed two triumphs each for Australia and South Africa, and of course England's sole victory to date for a Northern Hemisphere side. Relive France's spectacular wins over Australia and New Zealand; Argentina's repeated upsetting of the world order; last-minute drop goals by Joel Stransky and Jonny Wilkinson; and the sheer exuberance of the Pacific Islandersā€”in a Rugby World Cup history which will appeal to fans of every nation.
