Question

Why is the millenium stadium in cardiff used in the rugby world cup 2007 when its held in france?

Answer 1

I agree with ashar and I add that Wales gave to France several games at the 99 world cup... So it was a kind of "money back". Welsh wanted only one quater-final with one team, New Zealand cos they were sure to fill millenium stadium...

Answer 2

for france to host the RWC they needed votes therefore they offered games (at the stadiums) to the nearby nations in favour of there votes.....

Answer 3

the real reason it happened is because in past world cups... games were held in france and when wales hosted it, so it is a payback, it has nothing to do with votes.
