Olympic Stadium for RWC 2015?
Sep 17,2012
Organisers of the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England are planning to use London's Olympic Stadium as one of the venues for the competition.
There are still uncertainties over who the tenants of the 80,000-seater stadium would be after the Games and whether the capacity will be reduced.
But Ross Young, chief operating officer of the RWC's organising committee, said that "you would be mad not to include it as part of your thinking" as England looks to sell nearly three million tickets for the major sporting event.
Tournament organisers are seeking to feed off the success of the London Olympics, with newly appointed IRB chief executive Brett Gosper saying "it's putting the right kind of pressure on us."
