St Mary's put forward as rugby venue
The 32,000-seater ground will join venues including Twickenham, Wembley, the Emirates Stadium, Old Trafford, Anfield, St James' Park, the Ricoh Arena and Elland Road if the RFU's bid to host the tournament is successful.
England are competing against South Africa, Italy and Japan to host the event for the first time since 1991.
RFU director of business operations Paul Vaughan said: "Each of these venues is already equipped with the highest quality facilities, served by a comprehensive travel infrastructure and experienced in hosting world-class sporting events."
