2023 (expanded) Rugby World Cup for South Africa

[Rowan Quinn]

That's a little bit like asking why Japan might get the FIFA World Cup again before Argentina and Uruguay. Times have changed. The tournament is growing and growing. We have to look at larger host nations and larger markets. New Zealand is simply too small to host it again, while Australia doesn't seem interested right now. I'm not a fan of the same countries hosting it again and again, btw. It's just hard to see so far into the future. Hopefully new countries will come through over the next few decades, like Russia and Brazil, which would bring them into contention as well, of course. I understand Russia had actually considered bidding for the 2023 RWC, but along with Argentina and the US failed to come through with an official bid.
