Rugby WC 1987 – Final – All Blacks vs. France – Part 1/9
Part 1/9 – “Old” footage of the first Rugby World Cup final. Piece of history, full match, audio quality slightly improves progressively. The 1987 Rugby World Cup was the first Rugby World Cup. The tournament was hosted by New Zealand and Australia in 1987 and was won by New Zealand. Seven of the 16 places were automatically filled by the International Rugby Football Board members New Zealand, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and France with South Africa unable to compete because of the international sports boycott due to apartheid. New Zealand won the final against France at Eden Park in Auckland 29-9. The New Zealand team was captained by David Kirk, substituting for the injured Andy Dalton, and included such rugby greats as Sean Fitzpatrick, John Kirwan, Grant Fox and Michael Jones.
