hosted football and rugby league world cup finals.

[Sewing] Stitch

Stade de France
There is such a thing as the rugby league world cup but [IMHO] the opinion clearly refers to rugby union only. Therefore Wembley Stadium is not accepted.

And the person who answered "banana's" is very lucky to receive the point!
