The 2000 World Cup was not a success. There were too many mismatches in the early stages, and some of the teams lacked credibility. Notably the inclusion of a side representing New Zealand ’s Māori population alongside the full New Zealand Squad , and a Lebanon Side consisting entirely of Australians of Lebanese origin, led to derisory comments in the media. Due these reasons crowds at the tournament were low; also torrential rainstorms and the crisis on Britain’s Railways following the Hatfield Rail Crash did not help encourage spectators. The tournament accumulated a mere £2m, and the performed creditably, and attendance for the games held in France was encouraging. The much derided Lebanon team also proved the catalyst for domestic competition in That Country . GROUP 1 Results
