    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    How's France even an option again? They have one 10 years ago.

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    Yeah it did, but it was a successful loss. It was predicted to operate at a relatively heavy loss but ended up doing well. I think something like 10m less was saved. The event was a success. Cork Park is substantially bigger than Eden Park to, so surely they can have a number of high profile...

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    New Zealand managed & we only have one stadium over 35,000 and that's Eden Park. I suppose the venues would be Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway & with a few other smaller towns getting a game or two from the minnow games? Would you throw Belfast in there? What about sharing the event with...

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    The only terrorists Ireland has these days is their rugby commentators. :lol:

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    Great to hear such procedures were in place for the 2010 world cup. I'm sure South Africa do step it up & it would still be a terrific event. But the security in Ireland I'm sure would be equally as good, without having to worry about petty crime either. I went to both the 2015 RWC & the 2016...

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    You have more chance of getting car jacked at the traffic lights in J-Berg than of anything serious happening in Ireland in 2027. Really man, there's no way anyone can convince me that South Africa is a safer destination than Ireland.

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    Ireland have never hosted a tournament of this scale before (I think?), it'd be nice if they got it. After Japan, Ireland seems like a really appropriate destination for the tournament. South Africa have hosted the tournament before in 1995 & also had the soccer/football world cup in 2010...

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    Doesn't South Africa have terrible crime? No offense, there's beautiful parts of South Africa no doubt, but out of all of the countries capable of hosting the RWC, South Africa is by far the most dangerous? I'd really have apprehension going to South Africa.

    Who should host The 2023 Rugby World Cup

    Definitely Ireland, they'd do a grand job & I've always needed a proper excuse to visit, you certainly don't go there for the weather or cuisine.... but maybe the beer! :lol:

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Hurricanes vs. Waratahs (07/04/2017)

    It was funny, I kept switching between Ardie, McKeznie, Laumape & Duffie, I somehow knew no matter which one I picked, it would be the only one who doesn't score points :lol: Who's your shout this week? I might keep faith, I don't think he's capable of having two howlers in a row & the...

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Highlanders vs. Blues (08/04/2017)

    Definitely looking forward to seeing some SBW in action. 12.SBW 13.Moala has awesome written all over it. It's definitely a tough game to be thrown into first game back though. But he could be the catalyst to help the Blues push on to a play-off spot. I think it's a good idea to keep SBW there...

    I suspect you like to be pessimistic to help soften the blow in the event of a loss :)

    A little confidence goes along way.

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Highlanders vs. Blues (08/04/2017)

    That's really bad news for the Blues. A quite possibly their death warrant.

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Highlanders vs. Blues (08/04/2017)

    The media seem to be under the impression he's starting. Ioane possibly to replace him later in the game? The Blues have really missed Luatua, they were matching teams upfront before his red card. I think he's due back this week isn't he? He will really help the cause.

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Highlanders vs. Blues (08/04/2017)

    Are you a Blues supporter Larksea? How are fans feeling about Tana & what do you make of Francis getting starts over West?

    All Blacks squad for the Lions named on the 8th... predictions?

    1st test I'm expecting to see continuity from last year. 2nd and 3rd test might be a few alterations. 9.Aaron Smith will start, with TJ coming on later. Pulu could probably get a call up over TKB & rightly so. 10.Barrett with Cruden/McKenzie on the bench, Sopoaga 4th choice 11.Savea starts &...

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Brumbies vs. Reds (08/04/2017)

    Home coming for Moore, wonder if he can get one over on his old team? Should actually be quite an interesting contest. I have the Brumbies down as slight favourites.

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Force vs. Kings (09/04/2017)

    The Kings definitely have some bite to them this season, I was thinking along the same lines. But Dane Haylett-Petty is at least in some form and could be the difference.

    [2017 Super Rugby] Round 7: Highlanders vs. Blues (08/04/2017)

    Ah of course, I forgot about that. 8 teams in one conference 10 in the other.
