England will host 2015 World Cup
England have fought off rival bids from South Africa and Italy to win the right to stage the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
It will be the second time England have hosted the competition, the last time being in 1991.
The International Rugby Board (IRB) also announced that Japan will be hosts for the event in 2019.
The IRB voted 16-10 in favour of rubber-stamping the recommendation from Rugby World Cup Ltd (RWCL) that England and Japan should be named hosts.

For those who may be interested. Was hoping Japan would get it in 2015 if I had to be honest. Was planning on traveling to it. Can't win them all. Congrats England.
