This Week in History

20th of June 1987

NZ WINS FIRST RUGBY WORLD CUP.

While the 2012 Rugby World Cup victory is still fresh in the minds of most New Zealanders, this week we commemorate the very first Rugby World Cup which took place in 1987.

It was a special event for New Zealand, as not only was it the very first world cup, we also hosted it (along with Australia) and then went on to win it.

Who captained the team that won the first world cup?
