Finger pointing begins as RWC 2019 loses main stadium

Akira Shimazu, CEO of the local organizing committee of Rugby World Cup 2019, meets the press in Tokyo on July 17, 2015, following an announcement earlier in the day by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that Japan will review a construction plan for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics stadium "from scratch." The decision means the new National Stadium will no longer act as a venue for the showpiece games at RWC 2019. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
