Move the Rugby World Cup Final to Cardiff from Twickenham

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

England have unfortunately bowed out of their home World Cup. This is a sad thing, but it opens the opportunity to use the Best Stadium in the world of Rugby for the biggest match of all... plus it means a home nation might get a home final.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government and Parliament don't decide where the Rugby World Cup is held. You could contact World Rugby directly about this:
