12-й Кубок мира по регби-лиг
12th Rugby League World Cup tournament
Кубок мира по регби-лиг 2000 года был двенадцатым по счету турниром Кубка мира по регби-лиг. Он проходил в Великобритании, Ирландии и Франции с 28 октября по 25 ноября 2000 года. В турнире участвовали шестнадцать национальных команд, разделенных на четыре группы по четыре участника, которые сыграли друг с другом по одному разу в течение трех еженедельных туров, после чего последовала серия плей-офф, завершившаяся финалом между Австралией и Новой Зеландией. Фавориты турнира, сборная Австралии, победила Новую Зеландию в финале, завоевав свой шестой подряд и девятый в общей сложности титул чемпиона мира по регби-лиг. Австралийский вингер Уэнделл Сайлор был признан лучшим игроком турнира.
The 2000 Rugby League World Cup was the twelfth staging of the Rugby League World Cup. It was held in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and France, and took place between 28 October and 25 November 2000. Sixteen national teams competed in four groups of four, playing each other once over three weekly rounds before a series of play offs that culminated in the final between Australia and New Zealand. Tournament favourites Australia defeated New Zealand in the final, claiming their sixth consecutive and ninth total Rugby League World Cup title. Australian winger Wendell Sailor was named player of the tournament.
Резюме
На основе Кубка мира по регби-лиг 1995 года было решено еще больше расширить формат, увеличив число команд с 10 до 16. Как и прежде, параллельно с основным турниром проводился турнир развивающихся наций. Чемпионат мира тысячелетия привлек рекордное спонсорство – более 1 миллиона фунтов стерлингов от Lincoln Financial Group, которая также спонсировала тестовые матчи сборной Великобритании против Новой Зеландии осенью предыдущего года. Чемпионат мира 2000 года не был признан особо успешным. На ранних стадиях было слишком много неравных матчей, а некоторые команды не вызывали доверия. Особенно заметным было включение в состав команды, представляющей население маори Новой Зеландии, Aotearoa Māori, наряду с основной сборной Новой Зеландии, и команды Ливана, состоящей исключительно из австралийцев ливанского происхождения, что вызвало насмешки в прессе. Организаторы турнира также подверглись критике за маркетинг и продажу билетов. По этим причинам посещаемость турнира была низкой; кроме того, проливные дожди и кризис на британских железных дорогах после катастрофы в Хэтфилде не способствовали привлечению зрителей. Однако были и положительные моменты: турнир принес прибыль более 2 миллионов фунтов стерлингов, несмотря на небольшое количество зрителей; сборная Франции выступила достойно, а посещаемость матчей, проходивших во Франции, была обнадеживающей. Неоднократно высмеиваемая команда Ливана также стала катализатором развития внутренних соревнований в этой стране. В плане конкуренции фавориты – Австралия и Новая Зеландия – уверенно прошли через турнир, продемонстрировав несколько доминирующих выступлений, что предвещало очевидное финальное противостояние. Победа Новой Зеландии в полуфинале над Англией со счетом 49:6, а также то, что Австралия вырвалась вперед в полуфинале против Уэльса лишь на 23-й минуте, сделали Новую Зеландию фаворитом в глазах многих. Однако в напряженном и захватывающем финале победу одержала Австралия. Лишь на 15-й минуте Австралия вела со счетом 18:12, но благодаря подавляющему преимуществу во владении мячом, она завершила игру мощно, забив четыре попытки в концовке и создав впечатление легкой победы.
Building on the 1995 Rugby League World Cup, it was decided to expand the format further, with the number of teams rising from 10 to 16. As before, an Emerging Nations Tournament was held alongside the main event. The millennium World Cup attracted a record sponsorship of over £1 million from Lincoln Financial Group, who had also sponsored Great Britain's Tests against New Zealand the previous autumn. The 2000 World Cup was not considered a great 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, Aotearoa Māori, alongside the full New Zealand team, and a Lebanon side consisting entirely of Australians of Lebanese origin, led to derisory comments in the media. The tournament's organisers also attracted criticism regarding marketing and ticketing. For 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. There were however some positives: the tournament returned a profit of more than £2 million despite the small crowds it attracted; the French 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. On the competition side of things, favourites Australia and New Zealand cut a swathe through the tournament, with several dominant performances setting up an obvious final clash. New Zealand's 49–6 semi final dispatch of England, coupled with Australia only hitting the lead in their semi final against Wales with 23 minutes remaining, had New Zealand installed as favourites in some quarters. However, it was Australia who prevailed in a tense, absorbing finale. Australia only led 18–12 with 15 minutes remaining, but a glut of possession saw them finish strongly – scoring four late tries to give the appearance of an easy victory.
