All Blacks Schedule for the 2015 RWC Announced

Come September 2015, Wembley Stadium would have hosted the likes of England, Man Utd, Bayern, the Patriots & the ABs!


It's only 2013 but the fixtures for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England have been announced.

The All Blacks will be doing a tour of football grounds in their first round games, kicking off their campaign against Argentina at the home of the English football team and venue for many a FA, League Cup and Champions League final on September 20.

The All Blacks then play the first African qualifier at the Olympic Stadium which will probably be West Ham United's home ground by the time Kieran Read leads his men in black out to the venue of the 2012 Olympics.

Their third game is against the first non-6 Nations European qualifier at the Millennium Stadium - it hosted the FA, League Cup and playoff games when Wembley Stadium was being rebuilt although yes it is more well known as a rugby stadium.

The All Blacks finish their final round robin game on October 9 at St James Park in Newcastle - Newcastle United's famous home ground.

The full list of venues named for the 2015 Rugby World Cup are as follows -
London - Twickenham, Wembley Stadium, Olympic Stadium
