Ross Young appointed boss for 2015 Rugby World Cup

England Rugby Football Union have hired Ross Young to deliver the World Cup in 2015.

Young had spent almost nine years working for the International Rugby Board, who own the World Cup. In this time, Young played a major role in 2003 in Australia, and 2007 in France. He is now working on New Zealand's preparations for this year's World Cup.

Since Young has been involved, Rugby's biggest tournament has generated record surpluses for the IRB to invest in the development of the Game. Now installed as one of the world's top three global sporting events, Rugby World Cup attendance topped over 2m in 2007.
