2011 Rugby World Cup - Complete World Cup History from 1987 to 1987.

Here is a complete look at Rugby World Cup history from the year 1987 until the year 1987.

The 1987 Rugby World Cup was won by the 2011 hosts, New Zealand.

The final was played on the North Island of New Zealand (pictured below).

New Zealand triumphed through the use of tactics.

"Tactical awareness in motion" - New Zealand.

All Black hooker Keven Mealamu was elated:

"I am elated to have won the World Cup here in 1987."
- Keven Mealamu.

All Black captain Jock Hobbs was visibly moved.

"Visibly moved? I am overcome with fucking joy here".
- All Black captain Jock Hobbs.

NZ Prime Minister Sir Robert Muldoon's reaction was one of unbridled and unrestrained ecstacy:

"I can hardly contain myself."
- Sir Robert Muldoon.

That night in New Zealand, hundreds of people celebrated by eating meat and potatoes and peas. Some of them even had extra gravy.

Everything was right in the world on that night.

This brings us to the end of Rugby World Cup history as we know it.

Let us all look forward to Rugby World Cup history continuing in 2011.
