We've supported rugby around the world for more than 20 years, and we are glad to have helped connect hundreds of thousands of passionate rugby fans from around the globe through these events," said Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline.

The 2011 tournament in New Zealand was the most widelybroadcast Rugby World Cup ever, and we anticipate the next two Rugby World Cups will only be more spectacular.
