Changes

In 1987 the first world cup was held with New Zealand's All Blacks winning at home.  Since then the World Cup has been won by Australia (twice), South Africa (twice) and England (once). A notable feature of the world game since the World Cup era began has been the dominance of the All Blacks between world cups but their inability to win the main prize. The seventh Rugby World Cup took place in New Zealand in September and October 2011, with New Zealand being the winner.
