Rugby World Cup 1999 - Winners Australia

The 1999 Rugby World Cup was staged in Great Britain and Ireland and it was hoped that the Northern Hemisphere teams would put up a better show and try and win the Rugby World Cup for the first time for the Northern Hemisphere teams.

The New Zealand All Blacks were firm Rugby World Cup betting favourite once again and they failed to deliver against a rejuvenated French team in the semi final. In the final itself Australia took on the French but France could not raise their game one more time and Australia dominated throughout and their star of the World Cup Tim Horan deliver another excellent performance to win the cup for the Aussies for the second time.
