Rugby World Cup 2015: All Blacks' new hotel fit for royalty

The All Blacks have arrived at their flash new digs - the Oatlands Park Hotel in Weybridge - but is it good enough for our rugby stars?

The four-star hotel is housed in a historic country manor that dates back to the 18th century and first became a hotel in 1856.

It's even fit for royalty - the hotel stands on the site of the Royal Palaces of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. A large ceder tree in front of the property was planted by Charles I to celebrate the birth of his son, Henry of Otelands.

The fanciest rooms feature four-poster beds and "stunning views from beautiful bay windows" - but unfortunately for most team members, there's only nine of them.

It goes without saying that skipper Richie McCaw is bound to be put up in one of these rooms, sleeping in full-curtained luxury - but which other All Blacks will get the honour?

Julian Savea should at least be rewarded for his hat-trick in the quarter-final match against France. He deserves that four-poster bed.

However, reviews of the hotel have not all been good - one disgruntled former guest complained that "some of the rooms are excessively huge" and added that "WiFi has never worked on any occasion I have been there, despite there being a signal".

"Feel free to give it a go if you like disturbed sleep, only one pillow on many occasions, poor food and service from disinterested staff," he finished.

It seems the All Blacks may need to stock up on some roaming data packs while kicking around in their excessively huge bedrooms.

And hopefully the lack of pillows will not contribute negatively to their performance against South Africa in the semi-finals.
