but there was one in 2000 and there is one this year, but there wasnt one in 2004.
 
Erm this is an interesting question and the only explantation i can see is they are not at regular intervals say as Rugby Union or football after some research i have seen that some years it has been up to 8 years in between and others it has been 2. Why this happens i can only guess there is not enough interest from a country perspective.
 
There wasn't a world cup in 2004 because the Tri Nations competition was on the rise and the Great Britain and New Zealand teams weren't succeding at intenational level.
 
cuz nobody gives a damn about rugby, the whole world likes football (soccer).

rugby just isn't as popular so it has no fan support!!!
 
Uhh, I think you've made a flaw in your research.
There wasn't one in 2000, or this year.

The Rugby Union World Cup runs every four years
1999,2003,2007, and the next will be 2011 (At NZ i think).
