south africa.

I think Argentina deserves it. They have very good stadiums and passion for rugby. Europe has have too many sports festival, in north america most people think rugby is a non-helmet football...
Argentina is the best option.

Pepe potamo · December 21st, 2010, 05:34 PM

NOT
AGAIN
EUROPE.

Europe is not the center of the planet!

Bobby3 · December 21st, 2010, 06:01 PM

Argentina, it's a good rugby country and the Americas haven't hosted before.

Oceania, Europe, Africa, Europe (2), Oceania (2), Europe (3), Oceania (3), Europe (4), Asia.

I think if Argentina puts forth a decent bid, they should get a shot at it.

There is one element thats quite repetative:

Since South Africa entered in 1995 the BIG-5 (NZ,SA,AUS,ENG+FRA) all make the QF's everytime
Only one other team outside the BIG-5, Argentina has made the SF's.

It's certainly more of a closed shop than the Football World Cup but thats not really suprising.

I think that if Russia wins the tender for the Rugby World Cup, the list of host cities must be cityes in the Urals and Siberia.

I would assume 2023 would go to South Africa after going to a new market in 2019. Then a new market in 2027, and repeat that trend.

I'd say USA it would be a big risk. The cities would be New York (Opening and Final), Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago, Indianapolis, Dallas,Houston, L.A., San Francisco, Seattle. An easier way would be to have it mostly on the east coasts and mid west. But to make it a safer bid we could do a joint U.S. and Canada bid with the host cities being in Canada Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver. Now on the U.S. side New York Boston, Washington D.C. and Seattle. I know it's kinda wierd with Vancouver and Seattle way away from every where else. I also know that this problably never gonna happen.

The USA and Canada might be a could idea, but it is an untested market. Also the RWC is in September and October, in the NFL season.

gezza · December 23rd, 2010, 05:07 PM

An interesting one. You would think SA would be the best choice. By the 2027 there may be a new market up and going however I dare say Europe will be calling.

There would be no way that they wouldn't have games in Salt Lake City. Utah is the home of American rugby.

Why the hell would in-goal areas need to be 20m deep?

They don't need to be that big:

Quote:

in-goal areas at each end of the field-of-play which should extend not more than 22 metres but, "where practicable", at least 10 metres beyond the field-of-play

Wikipedia

As has been said before, some stadiums like Murryfield have 'full sized' in goal areas. I think that most stadiums use about 10m now. Some football (soccer) stadiums can only fit smaller in goal areas of about 8 m. For internationals the IRB are normally stricter about the field.
