[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1162490, member: 73592"] It's been mentioned a few times. The biggest thing to remember is that rugby isn't football. it is not all-conquering, and cannot just turn up and have its demands met on an instant. Hotels and training/medical facilities for the team need to be booked 12+ months in advance. If you want any travelling fans, they need to know where their team will be playing its matches, for match-tickets, flights, and accommodation, so again, 12+ months in advance. If you want the draw to made closer to KO than 12 months (and that'll be pushing it) then you need to accept that either WR pay for all the hotel and training facilities for all nations, and accept that either the tier 1 nations will be mighty p[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]ssed off, or all the tier 2 nations will be mighty impressed with all the facilities (and mostly likely, both). AND you need to accept that you either don't have any travelling fans, or basically no country outside of Europe will ever host it again, and certainly no shared-hosting nations. 12-18 months in advance is the optimal time for the draw, if you want a successful RWC.
