Rugby fans from around the U.K. can now watch, scream and support their country's team at the pitch-side instead of from their armchairs or the local pub by taking advantage of special low fares to Australia which can be found on Cheapflights.co.uk, the UK's No.1 guide to travel deals. Fares have been almost halved from the normal fares at this time of year, to allow passionate supporters wishing to travel and watch their teams actually to be at the Rugby World Cup.
Rugby fans, both men and women, across the globe have eagerly anticipated this exciting event which begins this Friday - but unfortunately for those supporters living in autumnal Britain, even in their 'local' with a wide screen, they will not be able to soak-up the atmosphere of the live game, since the excitement is set to take place ‘down under’, in the warmer Australian spring.
Cheapflights.co.uk's site enables fans easily and quickly to identify special deals ‘down-under’ being offered by many of the 500 travel companies who advertise on the site:

David Soskin, CEO Cheapflights commented: “I realise how important the Rugby World Cup is to fans and it is unfortunate that as it is in Australia this year, many British supporters assume that they will not be able to afford the air fare. For this reason, Cheapflights is really proud to be able to allow its viewers to access such bargain deals easily.”
