MEN
Teams from the Southern Hemisphere (Australia´s Wallabies, New Zealand´s All Blacks, & South Africa´s Springboks) have always been considered as the best in the World, but until 1987 there was not an official tournament where this could be confirmed or rejected. Besides, due to appartheid, South Africa was banned from official games until 1992, so they did not take part in the first two editions. The World Cup is also known as William Webb Ellis Trophy, in honour of the inventor of rugby.
