Rugby World Cup in New Zealand names new venues

Tuesday, 31 Mar, 2011 0

The Rugby World Cup has confirmed the changes it is making to match schedules following the Christchurch earthquake.

Three of the five pool matches will remain in the South Island.

Nelson, Dunedin and Invercargill each pick up an additional match.

The remaining two matches have been reallocated to Wellington and North Harbour. As previously announced, the quarter-finals of October 8 and 9 are to be played at Eden Park, Auckland.

England’s matches against Argentina on September 10, and against Georgia on September 18 will be played in Dunedin.

Australia will now play Italy on September 11 at North Harbour Stadium, Auckland, and against Russia on October 1 in Nelson.

Argentina will play Scotland on September 25 in Wellington.

Rugby World Cup organisers said ticket purchasers for all Christchurch matches and/or the Scotland v Georgia match will receive a refund and the opportunity to secure replacement tickets to the relevant rescheduled matches during a priority purchase period.
