The 1991 Rugby World Cup was hosted by England with games also held throughout other nations in Europe. The desire to share in the occasion saw five nations — England as hosts with Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France — stage matches. As the inaugural 1987 Rugby World Cup was dominated by the seven International Rugby Football Board (IRFB) members at the time, the second tournament would herald the emergence of other nations onto the world stage. A capacity crowd at Twickenham saw Australia triumph 12-6 against an England side that had suddenly abandoned their feared forward approach to play a running game.

Rugby Union World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (350 words)
Rugby World Cup was originally thought up in late 1983, when the Australian Rugby Union and the New Zealand Rugby Football Union each independently wrote to the International Rugby Board seeking to conduct a World Cup tournament.
In 1985 the IRB approved for the inaugural Rugby World Cup to be jointly staged in Australia and New Zealand during May and June of 1987.
The 2003 Cup was intended to be held jointly by Australia and New Zealand, but disagreements between the International Rugby Board and the NZ Union, over sponsorship, advertising and ticketing, saw the competition relocated to Australia.
AllRefer.com - rugby, game, Sport (Sports) - Encyclopedia (515 words)
The rugby field is roughly 160 yd (146 m) long and 75 yd (69 m) wide, with goal lines 110 yd (101 m) apart and two in-goals (corresponding to football's end zones) 25 yd (23 m) deep.
A rugby match is in halves of 40 min, and may end in a tie.
Since 1987, when rugby World Cup matches were first established, nations have competed for the Webb Ellis Cup, named for the sport's supposed founder; outside the British Isles, the sport has been popular in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France, and Romania.
