==2007 RWC Favorite to win== |

{{Broken anchors|links= |
|
How can anyone claim that the Springboks are the No.1 seed? This has to be a personal point of view! Look at all of the bookies numbers, as much as I hate to say it NZ is out in front by far. Every single site clearly confirms this. In fact, quite a few sites are no longer including NZ in their pools and are looking to second place. |

:::I still disagree with the claim - I don't think there can be any serious doubt that the ] is a bigger tournament, or that it is an international sporting competition (it is just that clubs compete instead of countries).

Arguably Baseball's ] is also international (having two Canadian teams), which is also larger that the RWC by almost any measure.

This article seems to fit all the criteria nicely, and it seems you've worked out that dispute up above with references, so I see no reason why it would fail stability, references, or NPOV. One thing that struck me though, is that this article is a bit on the short size for what appears to be an extensive topic, I recognize that the sections with articles which say "Came from" may just be that short because you may of wanted the bulk of the info in the other articles, but for now, maybe expanding on some of the sections wouldn't be a bad idea. ] 04:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC) |

::Thanks for the pass and the comments. I will admit that some section are rather short, but I have a view to make things more comprehensive, as with every up and coming event, more resources re-surface and so on, so I expect as we approach 2007, the article (more specifically it's subarticles) will become more comprehensive.

there is no mention of this in the article. Being that they are intrinsically involved in the host nation selection and organisation, it is strange that it has been overlooked. Needs to be addressed for the article to become FA ??? --] 22:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC) |

== Citation spot check == |
|
|
|
|
|
As part of ] I've performed a citation spot check on this article. The results were: |
|
|
|
|
|
#''Footnote 3'': The other four automatic entrants - the losing quarter-finalists from the previous tournament are drawn into an individual pool at random. |
|
|
#*'''Checks out'''. From site: "Four countries - last year's beaten World Cup quarter-finalists Scotland, Wales, Ireland and South Africa - were handed the top seed status, and were kept apart, and selected at random to go into one of four pools headed by 2003 World Cup semi-finalists England, Australia, New Zealand and France. It is the first time in Rugby World Cup's 17-year history that the whole draw has not been based exclusively on seedings or rankings." |
|
|
#**It might be worth mentioning that this is a recent change in the rules. |
|
|
#''Footnote 5 (a)'': "The idea of a Rugby World Cup had been suggested on numerous occasions as far back as the 1950s, though the IRFB made it clear that it did not want its member unions to get involved in anything like the Football World Cup." |
|
|
#*'''Checks out'''. From site: "...he suggested a Rugby World Cup in the late fifties. In 1968, the International Rugby Board (IRB) forbade it's countries to get involved in an international tournament along the lines of the Soccer World Cup." |
|
|
#''Footnote 7'': "Such was the celebration of England's victory, that an estimated 750,000 people gathered in central London to greet the team, making the day the largest sporting celebration of its kind ever in the United Kingdom." |
|
|
#*'''Checks out'''. From site: "Police estimated that 750,000 supporters made the trip to central London, making the day the largest sporting celebration of its kind in the United Kingdom." |
|
|
#''Footnote 9'': "Recently, some media outlets speculated that the Unión Argentina de Rugby had only voted for New Zealand's bid for 2011 so they would receive regular international competition in return." |
|
|
#*'''Checks out'''. From site: "Minutes from a recent Argentina Rugby Union (UAR) committee meeting reveal that New Zealand won the rights to host the 2011 Rugby World Cup by a single vote - and that Argentina, who voted for South Africa in the first round, switched its support to New Zealand in the hope of future favours."; "...that the UAR needed to meet with them to discuss the possibility of having regular international competition in the southern hemisphere in the nearest future, having already obtained South African approval for Argentina's inclusion." |

==Media coverage== |
|
|
|
|
|
The numbers are all wrong. 3 billion + people did not watch the the World Cup. This is spin by some very creative PR men. Even the soccer World Cup does not get half the entire world watching the final. |
|
|
|
|
|
What the figures probably indicate is that the audience for all the games totalled up to 3 billion. I.e. if 20 games were watched an average audience of 150 million then 150 millin X 20 = 3 billion. It does not mean that any game had half the world watching it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Even this might well be rather creative use of figures. PR men often talk about a potential audience of 1 billion which merely means that if everybody who could possibly watch the game on TV did so, the audience would be 1 billion. Free to air programmes in the UK have a potential audience of 60 million but in reality 18 million is the maximum achievable.] 20:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:''A peak national audience of 4.34 million during Channel 7’s coverage of the final made the telecast the most watched television program of the year.'' from the IRB (bottom reference on this article). |
|
|
|
|
|
:If only about 25% of Australians watched the final when a) they were the hosts b) they were in the final c) rugby union has a reasonable presence in Australia, then it is pretty unlikely that very many people from non-rugby countries did.] 20:17, 6 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
According to Initiative, the company which collates worldwide TV audiences, the opening game of the last rugby union world cup was watched worldwide by 10 million people and the final by 23 million people. That hardly fits the 3.5 bilion estimate considering the final was by far the most watched of all the games. |
|
|
|
|
|
==Hosts== |
|
|
Wales should be left as the host nation in the table, same with France for 1999, I think even though England hosted the 1991 final, it is only appropriate for the 1991 tournament to list the other nations as hosts, whereas Wales and France are considered ''the'' hosts, regardless of where some pool matches were taken and so on, leave those details to the individual tournament pages. ] 14:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC) |

==All Blacks== |
|
|
I have replaced New Zealand with All Blacks where the team is written up. The first mention of them in All Blacks (New Zealand), so it is o.k for anyone who does not understand. Also, the table has NZ flags, and the records section describes the players as NZers.] 16:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC) |

==Image== |
|
|
I think the ''nations best peformances'' image should be exchanged for a different one. First off, at first glance it looks as though those are the only countries that have ever tried to get into a world cup, which is not true. Secondly, you have to click to see what the colors/descriptions are. I think it would be better to color in all the nations that have played/tried to qualify for any world cup, those who have made it in green, those who have been unsuccessful in organe or something. This way it shows the countries that have competed in the final tournament, but also represent those who have not yet made it, then the image description can in short explain the color scheme so we dont have to click on it. I would do it my self, but Im not that flash with that kind of thing...] 16:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC) |

Do you think we should include other information such as those that criticize the World Cup? For example, people recognize how big the event it, but it has turned everything in between it into "friendlies", and everything now is "in preparation for the next world cup". People have also become upset at what has happened to some competitions, in particular, next years Super 14. Also, some people say that it has devalued the 3N, etc etc...I know that there are policies on original research/point-of-view neutrality, but is this type of thing significant/relevent enough to be included somewhere?? |

The Media coverage numbers are misleading. You should define the term "cumulative audience" (like the ] article does), otherwise, it would beat the FIFA World Cup by numbers. In fact, the cumulative audience is misleading and insignificant in terms of comparing with other sports events. Therefore these statistics should be removed from the article and replaced by the number of watchers for ONE match (a final probably). Check the "Media coverage" section in the ] article. ] 04:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC) |

|
|
|
|
|
I found this article off the main page (congratulations!), but spotted a few grammar mistakes in it; normally, I'd just change it, but since this is FA and main page article, I'm reluctant to do so. So, I'll put the suggested change here, and if no-one complains will do it properly in a day or two's time: |
|
|
|
|
|
* Sentence "''The tournament included a repêchage system, alongside specific regional qualifying places, and an increase of 16 to 20 participating nations''" - needs changing to say "increase '''from''' 16 to 20" |
|
|
* Sentence "''The 2003 event was hosted by Australia, though it was originally intended to be held jointly with New Zealand, though disagreements between the IRB and the NZRFU, over sponsorship, advertising and ticketing, saw the competition given in its entirety to Australia.''" just reads wrong. I'd suggest changing to "The 2003 event was hosted by Australia'''; although''' it was originally intended to be held jointly with New Zealand, <s>though</s> disagreements between the IRB and the NZRFU over sponsorship, advertising and ticketing saw the competition given in its entirety to Australia." |
|
|
|
|
|
There are also a few places throughout the article where commas are mis-used (wrong place, shouldn't be there at all, whatever); I'll change them at the same time. ] 17:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC) |

==Choice of 1987 as year for 1st edition== |

Change the current lead media of the trophy to the official neutral for Rugby World Cup. The French version of the article is correct for reference : https://fr.wikipedia.org/Coupe_du_monde_de_rugby_%C3%A0_XV |

Hi, does anybody know why 1987 was chosen as the year for the first World Cup, it may be to avoid been the same year as the Football World Cup and the Olympic games, any reference on that ? Thanks ] 07:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC) |

If Portugal is listed as Most Recent (2007) so should all the other 2007 nations. ] 03:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC) |

::::I think if Portugal have 2007 as theirs, so should all the others who are going. A note/ref should be attached to the heding of Most recent appearance that says this includes the yet to be played 2007 tournament. 06:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC) |

Do you think we should include other information such as those that criticize the World Cup? For example, people recognize how big the event it, but it has turned everything in between it into "friendlies", and everything now is "in preparation for the next world cup". People have also become upset at what has happened to some competitions, in particular, next years Super 14. Also, some people say that it has devalued the 3N, etc etc...I know that there are policies on original research/point-of-view neutrality, but is this type of thing significant/relevent enough to be included somewhere??
I thought that the real trophy was on tour in france? And I was under the impression that the real cup is kept at the IRB hq?
