[QUOTE="RWC2011Fan, post: 529853, member: 58667"] If they do end up using the Millennium, Old Trafford, Stratford (Olympic), Twickenham and Wembley, I'd be interested to see how they distribute all of the big matches. Personally I think Twickenham should host less pull matches if it is to receive a good chunk of the knock-out stages, so with that in mind I decided to throw this together using some of the "big matches" (plus England's matches) from the 2011 draw and the above venues. - Wembley Stadium: South Africa vs. Wales, England vs. Scotland, New Zealand vs. France - Twickenham Stadium: England vs. Argentina, Ireland vs. Australia - Old Trafford: Ireland vs. Italy, England vs. Georgia - Millennium Stadium: England vs. Romania (big population of Romanians in Cardiff according to Wikipedia) - Olympic Stadium: Australia vs. Italy, Argentina vs. Scotland A lot of the bigger venues will probably end up hosting a lot of the 1st vs. 2nd tier matches, but that isn't unheard of (Wellington hosted AUS vs. USA and Christchurch was due to host ENG vs. GEO and AUS vs. RUS).
