Prince Harry and a rap poet joined legends of rugby at Twickenham on Friday to formally launch the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.
"Never has a tournament been so eagerly anticipated and never has a nation been so ready," said World Rugby president Bernard Lapasset as he opened the event following a 20 minute ceremony.
George the Poet read his rap work and rugby legends including former England captain Martin Johnson and ex-All Blacks skipper Sean Fitzpatrick took part as a giant rugby ball was dismantled during the ceremony to reveal the Webb Ellis Trophy.
