« Joining the realms of Twitter | | More money than sense at Toulon? » May 7, 2009 Posted on 05/07/2009 Rugby World Cup venues? England are promising to use the, "biggest and best stadia in England and Wales" if they are awarded Rugby World Cup 2015. The obvious options of Twickenham, Wembley, Old Trafford and the Millennium Stadium have been mentioned but what others grounds will form part of their bid? France used 12 stadiums during RWC'07 (including the Millennium Stadium and Murrayfield that were used to varying success) and none of those had a capacity less than 33,000 which offers some guide as to where RWC'15 may play out. The sport's global showpiece heads to New Zealand in just over two year's time where size of stadiums are limited but by the time the tournament rolls back into the northern hemisphere you can expect it to be bigger and better than ever. Add to these facts the need to recoup a massive £80m plus guarantee and it does not look good for the historic but limited grounds used week in and week out in the Premiership that do not come close to a 30,000 capacity. So which stadiums will be included in the RFU's bid? Here's my 12 - what do you think? Twickenham
