PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA Subiaco Oval

Capacity: 43,000 Home team: West Coast Eagles FC Other info: The ground is set to be renamed Crazy John's Stadium Enlarge Image

Way out west, Soo-Bee Oval (as the locals call it) will be full of Sandgropers for the five matches held here - if the Australian Rugby Union has its way.

Rugby's bigwigs see the Aussie Rules-following Western Australia area as a growth state for the egg game, and Soo-Bee as the flower pot.

Not that I'd try to grow anything there - the ground is as hard as a rock and it hasn't rained for eons.

But I'm sure they'll turn the taps on in time for England v South Africa, the match of the pool stage.
