There are now just 100 days to go until Rugby World Cup 2015 gets underway.
To mark the occasion, Prince Harry was joined by 2003 Rugby World Cup winners Jonny Wilkinson and Will Greenwood to launch the domestic leg of the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour.
The trio were joined by local school children from Richmond and Hounslow to send the Webb Ellis Cup off on its 100 day journey around the UK and Ireland, where it will visit over 300 events at rugby clubs, schools, festivals and iconic landmarks. The Trophy Tour has already taken in 15 countries over the past 12 months.
England Rugby 2015 Managing Director, Stephen Brown, confirmed that England 2015 was set to be the biggest Rugby World Cup to date.
“We've sold two million tickets, recruited 6,000 volunteers who will form 'The Pack', confirmed our 15 Official Fanzones and are delivering a Rugby World Cup 2015 testing and readiness programme,” he said.
“We continue to work hard with all our key stakeholders to ensure Rugby World Cup 2015 is a true celebration of rugby for the nation and the watching world.”
