The first and historic rugby championship was held in 1987 and was jointly organized by New Zealand and Australia. In New Zealand, the All Blacks home to the organization of 20 games, of which two quarterfinals and that biggest final game. While Australia organized 12 games, two semi-finals, and a third place. There were 16 national teams in the championship, two hosts were directly hosted, France, Wales, Ireland, England, and Scotland. A direct show was also provided to the South Africa team, but due to interracial interference in the country, they dropped out of the competition. Interestingly, the qualifications were not played, the invitations were distributed, and even more interestingly, as the team did not receive the invitation even though it was part of the above-mentioned representations, it seems that at that time everything was not ideal in the "neighborhood".
Al 'that's why the invitations were received by Argentina, Fiji, Italy, Canada, Romania, Tonga, Japan, Zimbabwe, and the United States. It's interesting to say that all of these teams play in Zimbabwe at the upcoming England Championship. The first world champions were New Zealand's best known as All Blacks, who beat the French team in the finals with 29: 9. In the "small" finals, the third place battle, Australia, who hosted the game, lost to Welsh 21: 22. The All Blacks team was led by captain David Edward Kirk and ultimately topped the trophy of the winner Eden Park Stadium in Auckland on June 20, 1987, before 46,000 spectators. The first shooter of the first rugby championship was Grant Fox fly half All Blacks with 126 points and one of the best kickers in the history of All Blacks. He marked this championship along with the legendary wing of Kirwan.
