The Olympic Stadium is being considered as a venue for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, potentially replacing the Emirates on London's venue list.

London's Olympic Stadium is being considered as a venue for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, after the stadium's management company applied for it to host matches during the tournament.

After the Olympics, the east London venue is set to be rearranged so it can host a range of sports and events, and England Rugby 2015 are hoping it will become one of three London venues.

"It would be great to have a world-class event in a world-class venue," Paul Vaughan, chief executive of ER 2015 is quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph.

"It will help the Olympic legacy as well, so we are very keen to work on them with that, particularly because rugby is going into the Olympics in 2016 in Brazil."

Twickenham, Wembley and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium are the current three proposed London venues, but the Olympic Stadium, if chosen, would likely replace the latter.
