Countdown to Rugby World Cup Begins

With just one year until Rugby World Cup 2011, New Zealand (9 September – 23 October 2011), there is still time for fans to experience rugby’s flagship event in its spiritual home.

Rugby World Cup returns to New Zealand for the first time since the inaugural event in Australia and New Zealand in 1987, and the New Zealand national team, The All Blacks, will be keen to mark the event with some exciting matches. Arguably the most passionate Rugby country in the world, for New Zealand, or Aotearoa (Maori for ‘the land of the long white cloud’), rugby is the national religion making the experience unforgettable.

Former Bath, England and British Lions player Gareth ‘Cooch’ Chilcott says, “The All Blacks are again setting the standards leading up to Rugby World Cup, 2011, but this has happened before and can they afford to blow another Rugby World Cup especially on home soil? It will be a fantastic tournament that I for one can not wait to be part of.”

There is still the chance for fans to book their packages to experience what promises to be the best Rugby World Cup ever.

As well as the action on the pitch, there is plenty to discover off the pitch from the stunning scenery of the south to the Maori folklore, hot springs and volcanoes of the north – and the vibrant cities in between.
