2003 Rugby World Cup - Repechage qualification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There were two repechage positions available in qualification for the 2003 Rugby World Cup. The USA and Tonga would eventually qualify through the two positions. Russia had originally qualified for Repechage as Europe 5. However, Russia was disqualified for using ineligible South African players and was replaced by Spain. The first round was originally scheduled to be a Home and Away series, but because of the delay caused by the disqualification, Round 1 was rescheduled as a single match at a neutral site
