A decision on the reallocation of rugby World Cup pool matches is close.

The International Rugby Board is currently deciding which venues will host the matches that have been forced to move from Christchurch.

Rugby World Cup 2011 general manager Ross Young says an announcement is imminent.

He says they wanted to have them locked in by the end of this month and they're on track to do that.

Auckland's already been confirmed to host the two quarterfinals that were scheduled to be played in Christchurch.
