Rugby World Cup
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
The Rugby World Cup is the most important competition in the sport of rugby union. The cup happens every four years. The first one was in 1987. The next one is being held in 2007, in France. The competition is one of the biggest sporting events in the world (along with the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics).
There are only 20 spots available in a Rugby World Cup, so teams must compete for them in a qualifying competition, to see who will get the spots. Some teams do not need to compete for a spot, as all teams who made the finals in the last one, are guranteed a spot.
The current champions are England.
