Unlike previous World Cup announcements this one should not be quite so much of a surprise given that Rugby World Cup Limited (RWCL) last month nominated England as its favoured candidate for 2015 and Japan for 2019. However officials at England’s Rugby Football Union (RFU) will not be taking anything for granted given the last-ditch deals which have been a part of previous bids. RWCL which runs the tournament chose England ahead of rival candidates South Africa and Italy as its preferred option for 2015 after consulting television and sponsorship experts. So it would leave the IRB Council with a tricky and embarrassing problem if they decided not to follow that recommendation.

Dragons atop Australia’s National Rugby League with win over Warriors
The Canadian Press
George Illawarra Dragons moved four points clear atop the Australia’s National Rugby League standings on Sunday while the team he left in the off-season appears to be feeling the effects of his departure. The Bennett-coached Dragons boosted their competition lead with a 29-4 away win over the New Zealand Warriors. St George led 18-4 after 40 minutes as Brett Morris scored a pair of first-half tries. Bennett moved to the Dragons this season after a 21-year career with Brisbane where he guided the Broncos to 19 playoff series and six league titles. While the Dragons have all but clinched a playoff berth with six rounds remaining the Broncos who lost 34-18 to the Gold Coast Titans are in ninth place and in danger of missing post-season play for the first time since 1991.
