The six-week, 48-match Tournament promises to be a total Rugby experience for everybody involved, from the estimated cumulative global television audience of 4 billion to the 95,000 international visitors expected to attend and from the 20 competing nations to the range of sponsors and official suppliers. Given the scale and level of investment in the event and in challenging economic conditions, much interest has focused on the scale of the economic impact on both the local New Zealand economy and also the broader global sports economy. Rugby World Cup has grown markedly since its first iteration with a cumulative television audience of 300 million in 1987 growing to 4.2 billion1 for Rugby World 2007 and spectators increasing from 600,000 to 2.25 million. Participating countries has risen from 16 in 1987 to 94 in 2007 with the number of countries in which the Tournament is broadcast up from 17 to 202. -

For more information, please see the item record link above. IRF OFF: CONNACHT’S FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL AND THE FOUNDATION MYTH OF A RUGBY IDENTITY Ruadhán Cooke & Éamon Ó Cofaigh The Connacht Rugby website describes its crest as ‘a modified version of the provincial flag consisting of a dimidiated eagle and an arm wielding a sword’. Little could Connacht have suspected that the arm wielding the sword over the province would one day be that of its own parent body. This article will retrace briefly the history of Connacht Rugby, focusing in particular on the near-death experience of the 2002/03 season. In reviewing the media coverage of a three-week window of protest which ultimately prompted the IRFU to reverse its plan to disband the professional team, this article will critically assess the legacy of the protest movement whose lasting achievements include not just the immediate survival of the franchise but its more recent successes on and off the field.1 The story of Connacht Rugby will be situated in the context of its geographic location and history of economic and social marginalisation.
