Rugby World Cup 2011 (RWC) will be starting in 2 days time. New Zealand will be hosting this year RWC starting on 9 September 2011 until 23 October 2011. 20 countries will be competing each others in 13 venues for the 7th world cup. I am not a big fan of Rugby but any big competition like this should had some collection to help us remember them when it is over. I had been searching for information on any Rugby World Cup coins for 2011 that I can find but I only found 4 Mint/coin dealers who launched such coins for coin collector.
