Rugby World Cup Conspiracy Theories
With the Rugby World Cup Semi-Finals this weekend, we bring you an exclusive article. The Rugby World Cup has only been around since 1987 and here are some crazy figures that might surprise you about previous winners.
No team has ever won the Rugby World Cup Final with a loss in the pool stages - both England lost to South Africa and France lost to Argentina.
No country has ever won the Rugby World Cup back to back - England, the defending champions, are still in the competition.
The only nation ever to have won the Rugby World Cup twice is Australia - So far both England and South Africa have won the Rugby World Cup in the past.
The only two host nations ever to win at home were South Africa (12 years ago) and New Zealand (20 years ago) - France are this years host nation.
South Africa have only been in one Rugby World Cup final - they won that game against New Zealand.
Argentina have never made it to the final 4 in Rugby World Cup History.
France have been in the Rugby World Cup final twice but the result was always against them, they have never won a Rugby World Cup.
With all these figures one might think Argentina are the dark horse in all of this. Another way to see it, is the fact that South Africa have never lost a Rugby World Cup Final.
But lets not forgot England were the team who surprised everyone this past weekend and France were the nation that knocked out Rugby World Cup favourites - The All Blacks.
The Rugby World Cup Semi-Finals England Vs France and South Africa Vs Argentina will be played this week where the result of the games will lead to the Rugby World Cup 2007 Final on Saturday 20th October.
