495 Million Reasons Why World Cup 2003 Proves a Big Hit for International Rugby Board
Overview With a worldwide television audience of 3.5 billion, the Rugby World Cup (RWC) was the world's biggest sporting event in 2003. It is the showpiece of the International Rugby Board (IRB) - the organization that administers the sport - and the financial engine that drives the development of rugby worldwide. Using Microsoft technology and within a timeframe of only 14 weeks, the IRB created a robust and secure online publishing system that met the demands of editorial teams in London and Sydney and millions of rugby fans in 194 countries. The system handled usage levels that on occasions saw four million Web pages opened per hour and provided live match updates from stadium sideline to Web site within seconds.
