RU: Yokohama worthy of Rugby World Cup final, says IRB chairman
YOKOHAMA, Japan, Feb 20 AFP - Yokohama stadium is "worthy of the World Cup final,"
International Rugby Board chairman Syd Millar said today on visit to Japan which is vying
to host the 2011 event.
"I think it's a very, very excellent stadium and it would be certainly worthy of the
World Cup final," said Millar.
"We are building a new stadium in Dublin. If we can shift this stadium to Dublin, I'll be happy."
The Yokohama stadium on the western outskirts of Tokyo was the site of Brazil's 2-0
defeat of Germany in the final of the 2002 football World Cup co-hosted by Japan and South
Korea.
