Maggie said: “I visited Brighton’s
football stadium at Two Years to Go until Rugby World Cup 2015. It’s an absolutely
brilliant venue. Brighton has big games in the Tournament and it’s going to be amazing.
The venue atmosphere of a football stadium is different and it will be good to
see Rugby on the pitch. Also the Brighton people are the best, lots of fun and
sure to enjoy it all.”
