Australia to host two Rugby World Cup tournaments
World Rugby has overnight confirmed the venue of its World Cup tournaments for the next decade - with Australia and the United States emerging as the big winners. England will stage the women's Rugby World Cup in 2025 before Australia play host to the men's event in 2027 and the women's in 2029. History will be made when the US then stages World Cup tournaments for the first time, in both 2031 and 2033. For Australia, it adds to a bumper decade of major sporting events. Sydney-based rugby writer Christy Doran spoke to Susie Ferguson.
