The competiton will take place within 10 different cities across the country, notably in the Stade de France in Paris, in Marseille and Bordeaux...

The Webb Ellis Cup, named after the man who is said to have invented rugby, has been disputed for a short time, for the competition has been established in the 1980s, with the first World Cup in 1987, which was won by the New Zealand All Blacks. Since then, Australia, South Africa and England have subsequently won the title.
