England in solo bid for 2015 Rugby World Cup

England will be launching a solo bid for the 2015 World Cup.

The Rugby Football Union has, indeed, held talks with their Welsh and Irish counterparts about them hosting matches in 2015.

But this would not be a joint bid. Only England could realistically host the tournament, as the International Rugby Board wants a £100m guarantee for the competition.

England have already confirmed their interest in hosting the competition and are now putting together a bid document.
