Rugby Union

Rugby Union is definitely one of the biggest sports in the world and it's popularity has risen enormously in England due to them winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup. There is fierce rivalry between the home nations and because the 2007 World Cup Finals are in France, there won't be a better chance to see live world cup action for a long time. England maybe the holders but there form has dropped off to disappointing new levels, while Wales, Ireland and Scotland look strong in comparison. Before the Rugby World Cup fans have also got the opportunity to watch the Six Nations tournament contended by England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Italy and France. This is a great opportunity for the England team to rediscover some form, win matches, build their confidence and turn themselves into genuine title contenders for the Webb Ellis Cup.

New Zealand are the clear favourites for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, but their tournament form sometimes slips and they haven't won it since 1987. The Rugby World Cup gives you a great opportunity to watch your team play hard against the best in the world and share this experience with friendly fans from opposing nations. The tournament is the pinnacle of rugby and there is so much to see and do in the host cities, the cuisine is probably among the finest in the world!
