RWC 2015: Scotland vs USA
September 17, 2015 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Scotland play their second game of the group stages against the USA. Taking place at Elland Road in Leeds, this is a local one for us.
The City of Leeds Pipe Band will be outside the stadium as well as taking a short turn within the stadium ahead of the match.
Capacity – 37,914. Leeds may be a hotbed of rugby league – the reigning Super League champions, Leeds Rhinos, play just down the road at Headingley – but Elland Road’s famously feisty old-school atmosphere makes it perfect for the passion and noise of a Rugby Union World Cup fixture.
The code has been played here before, if only once: in 1992 over 14,000 turned up to watch the South African national side, who had just been readmitted to the international game. Boasting players like Naas Botha and Robert du Preez, they beat a North of England XV. And while it may retain its historic charm, the venue has great views.
