The William Webb Ellis Cup, also referred to as the “Webb Ellis Trophy”, is the main prize of the Rugby World Cup. The trophy is named after William Webb Ellis, who was named by the RFU as the inventor of Rugby football. The trophy is silver gilded in gold and has been presented to the winner of the world cup since the first competition in 1987. The Rugby World Cup is the premier international rugby union competition in the world. The event is organised by the sport’s governing body, the International Rugby Board (IRB), and is contested by the men’s national rugby union teams. The inaugural tournament was held in 1987, hosted by both Australia and New Zealand, and now held every four years. The idea of a Rugby World Cup had been suggested on numerous occasions as far back as the 1950’s, though the IRFB made it clear that it did not want it’s member unions to get involved in anything like the Football World Cup. The idea resurfaced throughout the early 1980s, and was dismissed at a 1983 IRFB meeting. It is thought that the defining moment in the creation of such a tournament came when the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) and the New Zealand Rugby Football Union (NZRFU) each independently wrote to the IRFB seeking to conduct a World Cup tournament.
The decisive vote to approve the proposal came from the South African delegates, who voted in favour despite knowing that the international sports boycott on their country’s apartheid regime would prevent their team from participating in the tournament. The first tournament in 1987 was jointly hosted in Australia and NZ between 16 nations. The All Blacks (NZ) became first ever champions, defeating France 29-9 in the final at Eden Park. ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
In 1985 the IRFB approved the inaugural cup, which was to be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand during May and June of 1987, though the proposition was met with much opposition, led by the British and Irish delegations.

Japan’s Mt. Fuji is an active volcano about 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Commonly called “Fuji-san,” it’s the country’s tallest peak, at 3,776 meters. A pilgrimage site for centuries, it’s considered one of Japan’s 3 sacred mountains, and summit hikes remain a popular activity. About three-fourths (¾) of the country is mountainous; the highest mountain is Mount Fuji, an active volcano at 3,776 m. Mt Fuji has influenced much of Japanese art and culture since the 16th century. Today, Mt Fuji is an international haven for tourism as well as mountain climbing, with over 200,000 people climbing the mountain every year.
Did you know that Mt Fuji is actually a ‘stratovolcano’. Not only is it one volcano – it’s three! The mount is three separate volcanoes placed on top of one another. The bottom layer is the Komitake volcano, then the Kofuji volcano, then Fuji, which is the youngest.
Elevation: 3,776 m
Last eruption: 16 December 1707
