To get the world cup you need to do a bit of horse trading to get votes.. Scotland and Wales gave france their votes in exchange for games..

Whether you agree with it or not...this is common practice...

Quite a few of the games have been played in Britain and Ireland, I think it is because France doesn't have enough quality rugby stadiums where as each country of the British isles and also Ireland each has a world class venue

Because Wales has to have something out of the World Cup

To make it easier for Wales which was to play in this specific game. I believe is not right.

Was not fair that Scotland played home with Romania.

Even if is World cup you can't play England Australia in Sydney.

If it is about votes probably we are going to have a future World Cup in SA, Argentina, Japan and USA. What about that?

Its the way they drew up the itinerary. A funny thing happened to France on the way to the Rugby World Cup; Argentina. When they played there first game of the pool against Argentina they never in there wildest dreams thought that they could knock them off their pedestal and lose pool D. The losers will go on to play the winners of group C and that's the reason why they are playing in Cardiff.

France promised Scotland and Wales games in exchange for their votes to support the French bid for the Cup.

When France won the right to World cup they promised a few games in other Gaelic countrys so by doing that they could bank on the support of Wales and Scotland.
