ENGLAND'S RUGBY WORLD CUP VICTORY(2)
Early day motion 134, tabled 26 November 2003 by Derek Wyatt (Labour). Signed by 33 members.
That this House extends its warmest congratulations to the England team and management on winning the Rugby World Cup for the first time; further commends the Australian team and management for their part in making the final such an epic; requests that any honours for the England team be fast forwarded ahead of the New Year List to recognise their outstanding achievement; and hopes that the International Rugby Board will institute in time for RWC 2007 two separate tournaments, one for the professional playing countries and one for their amateur counterparts.
