About this title

Synopsis

Since the inception of the Rugby World Cup in 1987, the nature not only of the tournament but of the sport itself has undergone something of a facelift. With the professionalisation of the game, the establishment of Rugby World Cup Limited and the reorganisation of the IRFB has come a greater international presence in the competition and a wider interest in the game, with the 2003 Rugby World Cup expected to attract a television audience of 4 billion.
In The History Of The Rugby World Cup, Wales and Lions legend and current correspondent for The Times Gerald Davies gives a detailed analysis of the evolution of the tournament, providing commentary, statistics and interviews with those players and coaches who have battled it out for the ultimate prize. As well as picking out key moments in the famous games, Davies details the preparation and expectations of competing nations in the run-up to the 2003 tournament in Australia.
