2003 Rugby Union World Cup

The 2003 Rugby Union World Cup was the fifth world cup in rugby union history. It was won by England. Originally planned to be played in Australia and New Zealand, all games were shifted to Australia following a contractual dispute over ground signage rights between the New Zealand Rugby Football Union and Rugby World Cup Limited.
