Rugby World Cup venues go through final testing

By Tom Walker    10 Aug 2015
Sandy Park, Exeter, will be among the venues to undergo final testing ahead of the tournament

With little over one month to go until the start of Rugby World Cup 2015, the Organising Committee, England Rugby 2015, has begun its final phase of testing in preparation for the tournament.

The final preparations will include testing transport, spectator experience and accreditation processes and other elements to ensure the “best possible experience” for teams and spectators.

Stadiums to take part in the tests will include the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Twickenham in London, The Olympic Stadium in London, Kingsholm in Gloucester and Sandy Park in Exeter.

England Rugby 2015 managing director Steve Brown said: "This is an important time for us as we prepare for tournament time.

“Our enhanced transport and spectator experience is a result of over a year of detailed logistics planning, enabling us to create a robust system that will be tested during Rugby World Cup warm-up matches in August and September then finessed for Rugby World Cup 2015.

“I’d like to thank the venues for their support in enabling us to work with them on these matches.”
