Japan Selected to host 2019 Rugby World Cup




Hot off the presses......the International Rugby Board (IRB) announced today July 28th that Japan will host the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

In the past, Japan was considered a lock to hold the 2011 World Cup but lost out in the end to New Zealand.

As Japan continues to be in the running for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games...if selected this will prove to be a very interesting decade for international sports using Japan as their stage.

All the best.....Mark
