Rugby World Cup 2007- Odd Venue Choices

[RWC2011Fan]

This has been on my mind for a while:
Why were matches like Italy vs. Romania and Argentina vs. Namibia played at the 60,000 capacity Velodrome, while games like Scotland vs. Italy and Ireland vs. Argentina were at stadiums with capacities of 35,00 and 45,000?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Thanks.

Argentina vs. Namibia drew 55.000 people to a 60.000 capacity stadium, so that's not too bad I guess. Italy vs. Romania could have been played in a smaller stadium as it only drew 45.000 or so but then again Marseille is close to Italy so maybe there's a reason in there somewhere.
