Saturday October the 23rd marked another important milestone in the build-up to Rugby World Cup 2011 as it was one year to the Final at Eden Park, Auckland.
"At this point next year, 46 matches would have been played and Rugby fans from around the world will be getting into a state of high excitement as they focus on which team will emerge as victors in this great contest," said Martin Snedden, CEO for Tournament Organiser Rugby New Zealand 2011.
To celebrate the milestone, the Webb Ellis Cup, the Trophy which will be at stake at the Final, will be on public display at the National Museum Te Papa Tongarewa in Wellington for one day only this Saturday.
"This is a great opportunity for fans to get up close to Rugby’s greatest prize so I hope many come along to Te Papa on Saturday and get a taste of what awaits us next year.
"With just a year to the Final, we are well and truly counting down to RWC 2011. Eden Park has reopened, other stadia redevelopments are either completed or on schedule and ticket sales are promising. We are making great progress.
