World Cup tickets selling fast

“Ticket sales have been fantastic – the demand has been unbelievable.”

Ticket sale targets for this year’s Rugby World Cup are set to be hit before the competition kicks off in September, tournament chief Stephen Brown has said.

England and Fiji will play the opening 2015 World Cup game at Twickenham in just over nine weeks’ time, and Brown delivered an upbeat message on a visit to Gloucester’s Kingsholm stadium, which will host four pool fixtures.
