The 2011 Rugby World Cup is the biggest international sporting event that will be held in 2011. From 9 September to 23 October, the best 20 teams in the world will gather in New Zealand to battle it out for rugby’s greatest prize – The William Webb Ellis trophy and the title of the world’s best. .

If you weren’t lucky enough to organize a month off work to go to the ‘Land of the Long While Cloud’, then pull your own team together to watch Australia’s first game on September 11. Pop your mates’ names into the White Pages® Online Residential search to grab their contact details.  You can put together a list of people to form your own Aussie cheer squad using the MyList functionality on White Pages® Online.

Before your cheer squad gets the green-and-gold face-paint out, make sure you know the correct kick-off time so you don’t miss a moment of the action. Don’t forget, the there’s a time difference between Australia and New Zealand, so use the White Pages® Online World Time tool to find out the correct time in New Zealand.

Once you’ve got your head around the schedule, it’s time to prepare your footy-watching base camp. If you’re planning to watch the games from your lounge room, consider investing in a big TV so you don’t hurt your eyes while you’re watching the games. Look for the name of your local electrical retailer in the White Pages® Online Business search to get their contact details. Then you can phone them or visit the store and upgrade your TV.

If staying at home isn’t your style, contact your favourite local pub to find out if they’re screening the games. Enter the pub’s name into the White Pages® Online Business search to find the phone number so you can find out when the games will be on. Once you’ve locked down a venue, create a Facebook® event through White Pages® Online to get your team of rugby lovers along.

And if the Wallabies do achieve sporting glory, it might be time to give any friends or long-lost rellies in France, Scotland, Wales and South Africa a call to gloat.  Use the White Pages® Online Dialing Codes tool to find the dialing code for the country you need.

No matter how much of a Rugby fanatic you are, the White Pages® can help take the frantic out of your preparations for the Rugby World Cup.
