A tournament to remember

Shaun Edwards, in his column for the Guardian, believes England should take notes from how New Zealand hosted the tournament as they look to put on the show-piece tournament in four years time.

"Now that the memory is still fresh and the jet lag has faded, it seems worthwhile looking four years down the road to the next World Cup and how England might be thinking of matching the past two months in New Zealand. Matching? Actually, that's a moot point. Finding another route might be a better question.

This was my first World Cup, so I have little with which to compare New Zealand 2011. However, I have spoken to plenty who have been to others and the universal judgment is that while it might not have been the best yet, it was one huge success. For those organising England 2015, the bar has been set pretty high."
