Gales desbanca a Nueva Zelanda como la primera nación del rugby
September 20, 2019 - November 2, 2019 - Gales destronó a Nueva Zelanda como la selección de rugby mejor clasificada del mundo poniendo fin a casi una década de reinado de All-Blacks, un impulso para los equipos del hemisferio norte en anticipación de la Copa Mundial de Rugby en Japón
With final warm-up matches still taking place, Wales, the reigning Six Nations Grand Slam champions, and New Zealand will battle it out for the top spot right up to the start of the tournament on September 20.
The 2019 Rugby World Cup marks the first time that the showpiece event has been held in Asia, outside rugby’s traditional heartlands.
Host nation Japan will open the tournament against Russia in Tokyo. A total of 48 matches will be played at 12 venues over six weeks, with the final staged at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama on November 2.
