SOUNDBITE: (English) His Royal Highness Prince Harry:
"This is a very, very exciting day with just one hundred days until the start of the Rugby World Cup. We're here to send the Webb Ellis Cup off on its tour of the UK and Ireland. This tour will enable rugby fans across the country to play their part in the build up to the tournament. Rugby is a game built on values - respect, pride, teamwork and discipline. In one hundred days time England and Cardiff will play host to an incredible festival of rugby with the world's best players, the world's best teams and of course the world's greatest fans demonstrating these values. As we have shown with the Olympics, Commonwealth and Invictus Games we are a nation of great hosts - a nation that seizes the moment. The world will be expecting us to deliver and I know that we won't disappoint. I have no doubt that the British public will make every nation feel at home and we will provide the best possible welcome to the twenty teams the hundreds of thousands of fans coming to the UK. This tournament, the most significant moment in English rugby since that night in Sydney in 2003, has the ability to broaden the reach of the game and deliver a long lasting legacy for the sport. With 48 matches spread across the country I hope that every community can be part of this tournament and celebrate the game of rugby."
