Rugby World Cup 1999
The
Star of the 1999 Tournament was Australian Tim Horan. He consistently
managed to breakthrough opposition defences and with it took his teammates
that little bit closer each time to winning their second Rugby World
Cup Final.
The most memorable match of the tournament was not the final but the semi-final between New Zealand & France. The French went into the match quietly and as the underdogs. New Zealand never really got started. The world watched & waited for the Big All Black machine to get into gear and easily mow the French down. It never happened. The French won 43-31. New Zealand simply didn't have an answer to the French tactics.
