So if the past few days of images of Rugby's past got you a little stoked to check out what is going on today then I suggest you find a way to tune in and begin cheering on your country or favorite teams in this the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
Since today it all begins I figured I would save the best for last, as in where it all started, this game played in Heaven, Rugby School in Rugby England.

This is a nifty little side story... Rugby, as most sports, is steeped in tradition. The above whistle will be used in the opening game. Go
here to learn more about the whistle and where it comes from.
Now to the games.
Cheers,
