Rugby (Union) / World Cup
Rugby / Copa del Mundo
MEN / HOMBRES
Teams from the Southern Hemisphere (Australia´s Wallabies, New Zealand´s All Blacks, & South Africa´s Springboks) have always been considered as the best in the World, but until 1987 there was not an official tournament where this could be confirmed or rejected. Besides, due to appartheid, South Africa was banned from official games until 1992, so they did not take part in the first two editions. The World Cup is also known as William Webb Ellis Trophy.
Los equipos del Hemisferio Sur (Wallabies de Australia, All Blacks de Nueva Zelanda y Springboks de Sudáfrica), han sido considerados tradicionalmente como los mejores del mundo, sin embargo, hasta 1987 no había ningún torneo oficial donde se pudiera demostrar esto. Además, debido al appartheid, Sudáfrica no pudo competir en torneos internacionales hasta 1992, por lo que no participó en las dos primeras ediciones. La Copa del Mundo es también conocida como Trofeo William Webb Ellis.
