[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 996794, member: 53362"] Agree, I think it needs to grow in Australia, Italy and Argentina as there is already a base to work from. I really don't think making the World cup into a marketing tool that goes to nations that have no real interest in the sport is a good idea. We already have the 7s circuit to "spread the word". Japan was the right call because the game has been established there for many years and they have made investments into their leagues and structures. Rugby in the US is novelty and I would rather the WC went somewhere were grassroots players and coaches could watch it and not just be a novel treat for a bored American. Both England and France can turn a profit but I think Ireland would be a good venue if it can get over the little hurdle of allowing a garrison game at Gaelic sports venues or Australia who need a welcome shot in the arm (although the Lions are there in 2025).
