Bids
Japan Japan are seen as favourites[citation needed] to host the 2015 tournament after finishing runner-up in the bidding for the 2011 event. Japan is seen as having a lot to offer in terms of growth in the key Asian market,[citation needed] yet their inexperience in hosting international rugby events may be a drawback. The main problem facing the IRB is that rugby in Japan has a much smaller following compared with New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Europe. However, the Top League is an increasingly exciting showcase for Japanese rugby and there is incredible excitement in Japan about Japan's entry into RWC 2015. Finally, Japan is a large nation with a well-developed tourism sector, and sporting facility infrastructure is already in place and ready for use in the tournament. In an effort to drive up the overall standard of Japanese rugby and improve the results of the Japan national rugby union team, the Japan Rugby Football Union has recently created a new semi-professional 12-team league, called the Top League. ...
The Japanese Rugby Union have already announced their plans to bid for the tournament. [1], [2].
Scotland A potential Scotland bid for the 2015 event has previously received support by politicians and the strong support of EventScotland, who point out that the 2003 RWC brought Australia an estimated £311 million in wider economic benefits through tourism and trade. The nation is seen as a safe option following the hugely successful 2004 Under 21 World Championships with senior figures at the IRB saying they were "very pleased" with Scotland’s hosting of the junior competition, which is being billed as a springboard for larger sporting events. The success has helped to repair the damage done five years before, when Scotland’s hosting of some of the RWC games ended in farce with thousands of unsold seats and half-empty stadia.*[3]. Scotland also hosted the 1994 Women's Rugby World Cup at short notice, after the tournament in the Netherlands was cancelled. This article is about the country. ...

However, Scotland is seen as lacking the venues or infrastructure to host a tournament of this size. There is little doubt that without investment in additional stadia Scotland would rely on venues outside of its own territory - or use of soccer stadiums - for many of the games, and it is rumoured that the IRB has discouraged multi-nation bids for future competitions.
Potential Bidders In addition some countries have been the subject of speculation as potential hosts although without any indications being given by either their governments or governing bodies. As yet there is still time for countries not listed here to make a decision to submit bids.
England In September 2007 the Guardian reported that the RFU had decided to submit a bid. It was also claimed that it very strong chance of success because the IRB now believes that the 2011 tournament might make a loss, therefore making it particularly important to ensure a profit, which is considered a strong point of England hosting.
