[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 780068, member: 73592"] The saffers could do a good job, but it would be a gamble. Yes, France hosted too recently to be a viable option - unless IRB need a guaranteed profit; which they shouldn't after England and Japan. Yes, Ireland have the stadia - they already have an agreement with GAA. Would be a great option, but I'd rather go for someone who's never hosted before (and should have had either 2015 or 2019). Italy won't need the local fanbase or interest - though plenty of locals would support; it would be an absolute dream for away fans, and would sell-out. The only question would be whether they could secure the venues they'd need, advertising free as IRB require. My vote goes Italy > Ireland >> RSA > France Of course, what Tony says is also true, which makes South Africa the favourites regardless. [/QUOTE]
