**Webb Ellis Cup** ==== The Webb Ellis Cup is a trophy which is awarded to the team who has won the whole competition of the Rugby World Cup. The rugby fans in New Zealand and Australia refer to call the trophy as "Bill". The cup was named after William Webb Ellis who is thought to be the inventor of the sport, Rugby. The trophy is silver gilt and it has been presented since 1987. It has been held by Australia twice, South Africa twice and New Zealand and England. The Webb Ellis cup is measured 38cm high and it is gilded with gold and is cast from silver. The appearance of the trophy is supported by two scroll handles on the side and on one side of the handle there is a Satyr and on the other is a Nymph. The words //International Rugby Football Board// and //The Webb Ellis Cup// is engraved on the cup. The Webb Ellis Cup is a 1906 trophy made by Carrington and Co. of London. It was designed by a person named Paul de Lamerie. ====

De les venger ou de les suivre !
Translated in English French National Anthem

How do the words of the anthem represent the culture, heritage and identity of your adopted country?
I think that the National Anthem for France's lyrics has very strong words and passion into it. It shows that France is a very strong country and does not give up. The words does not really relate to the culture of France. The lyrics to the song is just strong, straight forward and superb. It also says that who ever insults them, they will fight back and win their glory back. It is a very strong song in my opinion.

= Interview Skills =

10 Questions 1. What does France rugby players eat for daily life? 2. If you had to choose one country that will win the RWC, what country would it be? 3. Your favourite traditional song? 4. Why did you choose to become a Rugby Player? 5. Did you have any other dreams other than being a rugby player in the past? 6. What is your country's most popular food? 7. What famous people in your country are you a fond of? 8. What was your favourite rugby player when you were small? 9. How many countries have you defeated in rugby? 10. Have you had any huge injuries during a rugby game? Focus Questions 1. A closed question is a form of question which can normally be answered using a simple "Yes" or a "No". Open questions are sometimes phrased as a statement which requires a response not a simple "Yes or a "No". I can use open questions by asking them something specific using a long sentence as a question. I can also use  open questions by asking questions that the results will not be a yes no answer.

2. A good journalist needs to be confident, honest and cooperative. They need to have a qualification saying that they can speak clearly, have good questions to ask and understand the interviewed person's feelings and report. To develop this skill, I think you need to have a lot of experience doing things and try new styles of asking the interviewed person. Also to develop this skill, I think that you have to have some sort of strategy to catch the interviewed person's interest and get along by honesty and humour.

3. It is important to know the understanding of how different people live in the around the world is because that is what makes life more interesting and fun. It is important because that is how the earth and planet develops among us for eternity. Some understanding causes some troublesome times, but it ends into history and may lead us somewhere to a more advanced and developed places in our minds. It is also important because to understand how people truly live around the world etc, it can make your friendship larger and know each other accurately.
