  • L’IRB Rugby Aid Match fu un incontro di beneficenza di rugby a 15 che si tenne allo stadio di Twickenham di Londra (Regno Unito) il 5 marzo 2005, organizzato a sostegno dell'iniziativa del Programma alimentare mondiale in aiuto alle popolazioni rimaste colpite dallo tsunami nell'oceano Indiano del 26 dicembre 2004. Organizzato dalla Rugby Football Union, che propose la sede di Twickenham a Londra come terreno di gioco, il match si tenne tra due selezioni di giocatori, una per ciascun emisfero; selezionatore dell'Emisfero Nord fu l'inglese Sir Clive Woodward, mentre per l'Emisfero Sud fu l'australiano Rod Macqueen. Al fine di garantire la massima copertura mediatica (radio, televisione e satellite) da parte della BBC, la RFU posticipò le semifinali di quell'edizione della coppa Anglo-Gallese alla domenica successiva; l'obiettivo era quello di raggiungere, tra gli incassi ed eventuali donazioni, la cifra di 3 milioni di sterline.L'evento fu seguito allo stadio da più di 40.000 spettatori paganti. L'incontro terminò con la vittoria dell'Emisfero Sud per 54 a 19. (it)
