Have The WRU sold out for RWC 2015?

The RFU announced it is putting in a bid for the 2015 RWC Which contained this line: “The bid includes games at the biggest and best stadia in England and Wales and Dallaglio, “.

To me that smells as if The WRU in exchange for some commitment of voting for England’s bid have been awarded a game or two during the tournament – no doubt for Wales’ toughest match in the group stages.

Here is the question, if another country stands to benefit financially from a RWC bid by another, should they be asked to remove themselves from the bidding process?

I think they should be made to stand down. Simple as that.
