The 2011 Rugby World Cup is one of the biggest events in the other parts of the world. Rugby is not so popular in the USA but even though The USA team is there to play a full game and not to come back broken. The 2011 World cup was the biggest sporting event held on the host country of New Zealand. Organizers expected at least 95,000 international viewers to show up to the event not forgetting the All Blacks Fan’s already in New Zealand. New Zealand went with a venue plan to have 13 venues for the World Cup; Having 13 was there way of increasing capacity for the event, Having 12 stadiums 20,000 to 60,000 people. On start of the event Maori cultural was shown all over. Player’s took the field with Tonga Vs. New Zealand All Blacks as the opening match. New Zealand having the win over Tonga 41-10. This brought a lot of talk about how New Zealand might do in the World Cup being the host and all. But if you follow then you might know that they aren’t an easy team to bring down.
The games went on with France beating japan 47-21, Aussie Winning over Italy 32-6 and Fiji destroying Namibia 49-25. As the matches go on the teams fit in more with the massive crowd and the proud cheering, they become harder to beat. Fiji lost against South Africa 49-3 which brought me down a little because I cheer for Fiji, but no rugby fan will lose hope in there team. Overall New Zealand has been a great host for the game and the games itself are really exciting to. But the pressures on, who knows what might happen.
