The 1991 Rugby World Cup was the second edition of the Rugby World Cup. And was jointly hosted by England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and France.
The opening game pitted joint hosts England. Up against the tournament favourites New Zealand All Blacks. The game staged at Twickenham was a tight affair. England were ahead at halftime. But, New Zealand overturned a narrow half-time deficit to win the match and the pool. Full Back Jonathan Webb kicked three penalties and Rob Andrew added a drop goal. But, New Zealand scored the games only try through Michael Jones. Fly-half Grant Fox added a conversion and four penalty goals.
Victories over Italy by 36 points to 6. Then 37 points to 9 against the USA. Both matches played at Twickenham saw Jeremy Guscott cross for two tries against the Italians. Rory Underwood added a brace of tries in the Gane against the American team.

England Rugby 1991 Polo Shirt inspiration – Quarter Final Classic Against France

Both the All Blacks and England made their way through to the Quarter Finals Stage. France awaited England in the red hot atmosphere of the famous Parc des Princes. The game was one of the most physical played in any Rugby World Cup. Nigel Heslop kicked high to Serge Blanco and hit the fullback late. Punches flew. And the crowd bayed for blood. The pack was at its peak. With “Iron” Mike Teague. Also, Peter Winterbottom and Mick “the Munch” Skinner.
In the second half. With the score 10-6 to England. There was a scrum. Five metres from the English line. Marc Cécillon went blind and met with Skinner. A tackle of monumental drive. England won the ball. Then in injury time. With the score 13-10 England. Scrum-half Richard Hill kicked high, to Jean-Baptiste Lafond. Captain Will Carling grabbed the loose ball and touched it down. Winterbottom went berserk with joy. Jonathan Webb converted. It finished 19-10. A monumental victory.

1991 Rugby World Cup inspiration – Semi-Final Against Scotland

The semi-final brought Scotland and England together at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. With plenty of kicking for position and little running. Hastings put Scotland 6-0 up with two penalties. England’s Jonathan Webb levelled up the scores. With half an hour to go a Rob Andrew’s drop goal put England 9-6 up. And, four minutes later. Hastings had the chance to level with the simplest of penalties. Instead, the full back, still feeling the effects of a monster tackle by Mick Skinner, rushed and speared it wide.
The final was played at Twickenham Stadium in London. And saw Australia triumph 12–6 against England. With a first-half try from prop Tony Daly.
