Who should host the 2023 Rugby World Cup?

just seeing what people think? 2011 is in New Zealand, 2015 is in England, 2019 is in Japan.

i hope it goes to one of the devolping rugby playing countries in Europe, Italy perhaps. also think Spain or Germany should be considered even though they aren't big fans of rugby. South Africa could host it of course as could Australia, maybe a Celtic bid of the Scots,welsh and Irish

a long way a way just seeing what people think

Germany? Why they've never even been to the Rugby World Cup. I'd like Argentina to host it, as a forerunner to a potential Centennial FIFA World Cup with Uruguay.
The stadium improvements and construction would benefit both Rugby and Football.

If it's Europe, then Italy is the logical choice. Should it go the Americas way, either Canada or the US can host. Canada more likely, considering that they're upgrading and building new stadiums for the CFL and such, though the US can easily host with their NFL stadiums.

I very much doubt that anything is decided on the basis of hemisphere.

More than likely that, after Japan, the RWC will return to Europe. That's where rugby has its largest supporter base. So, if the IRB are keen to take the tournament to a new host, Italy would be the obvious choice.

Otherwise, Argentina would be a good call. Best rugby playing nation never to have hosted the World Cup.

I think the three main contenders will be South Africa, Italy and Argentina. I would be keen to go with Italy.

I have never seen somebody playing rugby in Germany. Why should Germany be considered hosting a rugby world cup. The current German rugby champion Heidelberger RK has according to Wikipedia about 700 members.

Italy should host the next European RWC. South Africa should host the next SANZAR RWC. Argentina should host a RWC as soon as they're technically able to.

As to the order this happens in, who knows...

Argentina, or Italy.

But I think that rugby union will be dead after OG 2016.

And due to the elitist nature of the game they quite likely never will.
