The world is abuzz with all the action happening in the UK from 18 September all the way to the end of October, as different countries take to the field to show their mettle in the exciting 2015 Rugby World Cup. Baroque Travel has all the details
This year’s Rugby World Cup is organized by the Rugby World Cup Limited. There are 20 teams competing in all, 12 of which qualified by finishing in the top three places in their pools in the last World Cup which was held in 2011. The other eight teams qualified through regional competitions.
The list of teams in the 2015 World Cup is almost identical to the last one in 2011, except for one change – Uruguay will not play this year, as Russia has taken its place. This World Cup is also the first since 1987 with no new teams taking part.
The games are all taking place in the UK, and the Final will take place on 31 October at Twickenham Stadium in London. If you are visiting the UK in October, why not take advantage of being in the host country of this year’s Rugby World Cup?
