Rugby union

From 1986 until 1992, Moulton was the medical advisor of the Australian Rugby Union and team doctor of the Wallabies – a period encompassing the 1986 Bledisloe Cup win in New Zealand, the inaugural Rugby World Cup in 1987 and Australia's maiden Rugby World Cup win in 1991.^[1] Moulton was a co-author of Guardians of the Game – The History of the New South Wales Rugby Union 1874–2004, published in 2005 by ABC Books and the New South Wales Rugby Union.^[8]^[9]

New Zealand have had the most success, winning the trophy for the 47th time in 2018, while Australia have won 12 times.

New Zealand is a sovereign island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island, and the South Island —and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal, and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

The Rugby World Cup is a men's rugby union tournament contested every four years between the top international teams. The tournament was first held in 1987, when the tournament was co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia.
