Seems a bit Keen, but the draw has seen England in a group with the Welsh and the Australians

Anyone know when the venues will be announced and if the Amex made the final list of stadiums to host a game?

Rugby is stupid.
A draw 3 YEARS before the cuffing tournament starts. And they call their groups "pools". And people get excited when you boot the ball out of play.

Really looking forward to this, although I agree the draw does not need to be so early.
We have the hardest group - possibly the most difficult group any host nation has ever had to fight their way out of. I think/hope the Aussies will be getting an early plane home.
I would love to see World Cup Rugby at the Amex - I will be certainly be there if I can get a ticket!

Their is an awful lot about the running and officiating of Rugby that Football could learn from. Unfortunately Football has FIFA and Blatter.

True dat.
I still cannot even begin to fathom why the draw is made 3 years in advance though. Thats just odd.

I'm really looking forward to it (will be even sweeter if the Amex is chosen as a venue)
Going to watch the Rugby (at Twickenham) is such a different experience to watching the football & there are elements that football could learn a lot from

Its OK sir, Union is a game for the thinking man, this of course excuses your ignorant comments.
I did remember getting pissed off that the IRB decided to give the 2011 WC to New Zealand instead of the far superior Japanese bid. "That would never happen in football" I thought, "football is far more inclusive".
Then FIFA awarded the World Cup to Qatar, a tiny desert nation with no history of football and an appalling human rights record, but plenty of money.
As an aside, it's much easier to run a game that is only played seriously in around 20 nations, especially when half of those nations broadly share a large part of their culture. FIFA on the other hand, is the guardian of the world's only truly global game.

f*** me. Looks like its also a game for insufferable pricks who take everything WAY too seriously as well.

...is a very good point, but lessons can be taught and learnt still .... Video technology, mic'ed up refs, respect for refs on the field of play, no segregation, drinking beer at your seat, etc etc

Exactly what I thought! Why oh why would we sacrifice home advantage to the Welsh?!

Exactly. It will be at Twickenham and so will the Aussie game. Wales v Australia could well be in Cardiff though.
The other 2 games that England play will probably be at other grounds in the country with any q-final & s-final being at Twickenham if we reach them stages (unless they save the twickenham pitch in the semis? could well be at Wembley/Emirates depending on what stadiums are chosen).
