England to Host Rugby World Cup(s)

It's been announced on the same day that England will host the Rugby World Cup in 2013 (League) and 2015 (Union)! It's not really such a coup as there are really only two viable options for the Rugby League World Cup and, with only half a dozen options for the Union version, it was pretty much England's time again. Not wishing to lessen the achievements, though, just imagine the sporting events on our doorstep in the next decade; 2012 - Olympics (& Paralympics); 2013 - Rugby League World Cup; 2015 - Rugby Union World Cup; 2018 - FIFA World Cup??

  1. Who married Brad Pitt today in 2000?

  2. Spanish racing driver Fernando Alonso (right) was born today in 1981 and was Formula 1 World Champion in 2005 & 2006 driving for which team?
