[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 920574, member: 70552"] Thought as an SA fan you would be pleased the RWC went to France - they didn’t do too badly back in 2007:). Still whatever makes you feel better in the short term about losing the 2023 bid, which was more to do with France being able to offer the other Unions financial security over the SA’s bid, which was preferred by World Rugby. Unless the process becomes more transparent when it comes to voting or World rugby forces the council/other voting unions to accept their recommendation, it looks like countries bidding for future RWCs will have to look how much they can offer financially first and then stadia/infrastructure. I read France promising a [URL='https://www.ft.com/content/7281f00a-cd23-11e7-b781-794ce08b24dc']£350m surplus compared to SA’s £270m for 2023. The problem is WR’s fianances being too tied to how profitable the RWC is means a future successful SA bid will be strongly dependent on being to offer more than a richer competitor.
