2011 Rugby World Cup Pool C

Main article: 2011 Rugby World Cup

Pool C of the 2011 Rugby World Cup began on 11 September 2011 and was completed on 2 October. The pool was composed of Australia, Ireland, Italy, Russia and the United States.[1] While history would suggest Pool C as a predictable in outcome, this was not the case. A shock win by the Irish over Australia saw Australia finish second for the first time ever in World Cup pool play.
