World Cup 2015: England want Wales game at Twickenham

The Rugby Football Union wants to play England's World Cup 2015 Pool A game against Wales at Twickenham.

The Welsh Rugby Union has asked for the game to be played in Cardiff at the Millennium Stadium, which is a tournament venue.

However, World Cup hosts England are keen to utilise home advantage.

"We appreciate the kind offer and it's a lovely place to go and play rugby but we have a nice stadium of our own," RFU chief Ian Ritchie told BBC Sport.

"We think it's a great place to come and play rugby as well. It's not purely an RFU decision, the Rugby World Cup board look at it, all sorts of considerations need to happen.

"But obviously we would be extremely keen to play the match here and think that we can provide a great setting for a great game."
