RÂGUEBI

História do maior troféu do râguebi

By Chris Dinsdale

September 20, 2019 - November 2, 2019 - O Mundial de Râguebi tem lugar no Japão, onde 20 seleções competem pela Taça Webb Ellis, um dos mais icónicos troféus do desporto.

The silver gilt cup was made in 1906, a copy of an 18th century original, and was stored in a vault at London jeweller Garrards until it was chosen as the trophy for the inaugural Rugby World Cup in 1987.

It is named after William Webb Ellis, who picked up a football and ran with it during a match at Rugby School in 1823 - an incident credited as the birth of rugby football.

New Zealand have won the trophy three times, most recently in 2015 - a victory that moved them ahead of Australia and South Africa who have each won the tournament twice. England remain the only northern hemisphere team to have hoisted the trophy, in 2003.
