In 2007 we scoured the city for country relevant pubs to watch your team in and doubtless we'll reprise and redouble our efforts on that score for these sporting coups but you'll also likely be in a position to watch matches live in London at Twickenham, Wembley and Highbury's Emirates as well as, hopefully, the Cupcake, should firm decisions ever be made over its long term future.
One reason the RFU managed to land the Rugby Union gig was through its promise to earn oodles of cash in sponsorship and merchandising to plough back into the game. New Zealand may have had a giant rugby ball to punt around Potters Fields but sadly, their 2011 World Cup looks set to make an incredible £20m loss.
