2015 Rugby World Cup

The 2015 Rugby World Cup was the eighth Rugby World Cup. The tournament was hosted by England from 18 September to 31 October. Of the 20 countries competing in the World Cup in 2011, there was only one change: Uruguay replaced Russia. This was the first World Cup with no new teams to the tournament.

Reigning champions New Zealand won the cup and defended their title by defeating Australia in the final 34–17; South Africa defeated Argentina to take third place. This was the first Rugby World Cup where no Northern Hemisphere team got beyond the quarter-finals. New Zealand were the first team to retain their title, and the first to win for a third time.

The highly contested match between Japan and South Africa in the opening weekend, where Japan  beat South Africa, was widely considered as the "biggest shock" or "biggest upset" in the history of rugby. As a result, much media attention was drawn right from the beginning of this tournament. Hosts England were eliminated at the pool stage, after defeats by Wales and Australia; this was the first time in the tournament's history that a solo host nation had failed to progress to the knockout stages.

The timing of the draw drew criticism due to its distance from the tournament. Indeed, by the time of the pool match between England and Wales on 26 September, pool A contained the 2nd, 3rd and 4th (Australia, England and Wales) ranked teams in the world. Following England's elimination at the pool stage after defeats by Australia and Wales Wales coach Warren Gatland noted that "Everyone is making a thing about the first home country to hold a World Cup to miss out on the quarter-finals, but the stupid thing, as we all know, is why was the World Cup draw done three years ago? That's just ridiculous as far as I am concerned. If they had followed the football model, then we wouldn't be in this position. There are other people outside this who need to have a look at themselves and why those decisions were made, and you have got to feel sorry for the people involved and who this has affected" World Rugby are looking at changing the timing of the draws, so it doesn't happen again. 

This is a must for any collector of england rugby memorabilia. A very rare piece that will increase in in value. A New Zealand squad signed  Rugby Ball from the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
