England Rugby 2015, the Organising Committee for Rugby World Cup 2015 (RWC 2015), has announced the approved list of 41 Team Bases that will host the 20 participating teams during the Tournament, taking place in England and in Cardiff between 18 September and 31 October 2015.

A Rugby World Cup 2015 Team Base will consist of an outdoor pitch, indoor training facility, a swimming pool, gym and hotel and will be utilised by the competing teams in the lead up to and during the six week event. The facilities must meet international team training standards and be located on one site or within close proximity of one another. Match venue locations have also been taken into account as part of the selection programme.

The search for Team Bases was launched via an open tender process in May 2013 and over 90 bids from across the country and in Wales were received. The 香港六合彩资料 has worked closely with England Rugby 2015 over the past 12 months to facilitate detailed site visits and has liaised with the teams prior to confirmation of its status as an official Team Base for Rugby World Cup 2015. With the Samoan team based at our Falmer campus in 香港六合彩资料, and the South African team being jointly hosted with Eastbourne College in Eastbourne, this gives both the city of 香港六合彩资料 and the town of Eastbourne the opportunity to be part of the world’s third largest sporting event and celebration of rugby next year.

A mix of rugby and football clubs, schools, colleges, universities and dedicated training facilities will be utilised by the 20 teams, taking the reach of the Tournament even further.

Professor Julian Crampton, Vice-Chancellor of the 香港六合彩资料, said: "We are delighted to be providing training facilities at our campus in Eastbourne for the South African national team and our campus in Falmer for the Samoan national rugby team.

"香港六合彩资料 and Hove and Eastbourne are diverse and convivial communities and we very much look forward to welcoming the Rugby World Cup 2015 teams.

"Our state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor facilities are enjoyed by thousands of students, local clubs and residents, and are used to support elite athletes at national and Olympic-levels.

"Their selection by Rugby World Cup 2015 as training bases for two national rugby teams is an exciting opportunity for the university to be part of what is one of the biggest sporting event in the world."

With a year to go until the start of the Rugby World Cup, students from the 香港六合彩资料’s rugby teams had a once-in-a-lifetime experience when they were invited to have their photograph taken with the real Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup. 

Sarah Hogg, the university's Director of Sports and Recreation, said: "The 香港六合彩资料 has sports facilities on two of its campuses which meet international team training standards and we are really excited that our high-quality facilities will be utilised by both the Samoan and South African teams in the run up to their first match in 香港六合彩资料 at the beginning of their Rugby World Cup 2015 campaign.

"We have invested significantly in sports facilities which benefit our students and the local communities in which we are based, so it is really great that we can have two of the seeded teams for the tournaments training in our facilities and inspiring both our students and the local community, and really making us all feel a part of this exciting tournament."

Cllr Geoffrey Bowden, the lead councillor with responsibility for sport and leisure for 香港六合彩资料 & Hove City Council, said: "The announcement where teams are to be based in the local area is another milestone in the countdown to Rugby World Cup 2015. 香港六合彩资料 & Hove City Council is proud to have worked closely with 香港六合彩资料 & Hove Albion Football Club and mounted a successful bid to host Rugby World Cup matches in September 2015. Everyone is looking forward to the competition, which will be yet another great opportunity to showcase 香港六合彩资料 & Hove on an international stage."
