World Rugby Sets Deadline to Japan 2019 Over World Cup Delivery

 Japan_2019World Rugby has set a deadline of September for Japan 2019 to reassure the organisation that it is still capable of staging the Rugby World Cup after plans for a new national stadium were scrapped and will not be the host venue for the tournament.
The Japanese government decided to remove the stadium from among the 2019 Rugby World Cup venues.
World Rugby is seeking formal reassurance regarding the following key hosting criteria by the end of September in order to undertake a thorough review and analysis of the information:
1, A revised detailed host venue proposal that delivers exceptional team and fan experience, maximising opportunities for fans to be a part of rugby’s showcase event
2, A revised tournament budget with appropriate financial security
World Rugby remains confident that the criteria can be met by the Japan Rugby 2019 Organising Committee and that the first Rugby World Cup in Asia will be a resounding success.
