The 2013 Rugby League World Cup is part of Britain 's `` Decade of Sport '' .
It was hoped that the 2015 World Cup would add to Britain 's `` Decade of Sport '' ( including the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2014 Commonwealth Games ) .It was also claimed that the bid had a very strong chance of success due to the IRB 's belief that the 2011 tournament might make a loss , therefore making it particularly important to ensure a profit , which was considered a strong point of England 's proposed bid. < ref > { { cite news
