Other info/views

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??

Webb Ellis trophy

I originally posted this at William Webb Ellis Cup, but I guess it would be just a relevent here. Anyone, both this article and the sub-trophy article say that "International Rugby Board" is engraved on the trophy. But I dont see how this can be, as the trophy came about in the 80s, and there was no "International Rugby Board", but instead, the "International Rugby FOOTBALL Board", with the name change apparently coming about in the late 90s...so whats the deal with the engravings??

The trophy is currently kept in the Museum of Rugby, London.

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?

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
