If Elland Road is used for the world cup (rugby) then I'm going to watch the games (that's if Wales play there of course), about 20-30 mins way from here.

I can cycle down to station in 5 minutes, lock it up for the day, then get a 15 minute train to Leeds, then get a shuttle bus probably to the stadium. :D They should be running them really.

Seeing as the Millenium Stadium is going to be used, I'd guess that Wales are going to play there just as they did in 2007.

If this was in Scotland I guess it would be a "good decade" for Britain, right?

It'll be used for some pool games, and a semi final. That's if RWC and IRB allow it.

and above poster, we're counting britain. as britain also got the rugby league world cup and scotland has got the commonwealth games.

5 pool games and 2 quarter-finals as far as I know.

my bad. well id guess that like you said, wales will be put in that pool. but yeah, the big organisations have to allow England to use another country's stadium.
