The seventh Rugby World Cup will kick-off at Eden Park on Friday 9 September as the hosts New Zealand take on Tonga.
“I am convinced that the stage is set for an exceptional Rugby World Cup,” said IRB Chairman Bernard Lapasset. “New Zealanders and 95,000 fans from all corners of the earth will join in celebration of a Tournament that will deliver not just a sporting spectacle, but a festival that will showcase all that is great about this passionate Rugby nation.”
Tournament organiser Rugby New Zealand 2011 (RNZ 2011) said the final touches were being put on preparations at Eden Park ahead of what it promised would be an Opening Ceremony, the like of which New Zealand had not seen before.
But who is going to win, what kind of pressures will the coaches be under and who will be the surprise packages of the tournament? In this video rugby legends past and present Zinzan Brooke, Will Greenwood and Jamie Heaslip give their thoughts.
