[QUOTE="Rowan Quinn, post: 780084, member: 32914"] Undoubtedly if Ireland got it, Scotland would have to follow in 2031 - or they'd scream blue murder as the only remaining foundation member not to have played central host to the tournament. But Ireland and Scotland are tiny nations geographically, and have indeed played co-host on a number of occasions. Do we really want the tournament to return to the Home Unions in 2023 for a 5th time and then 2031 for a 6th? There are many other countries with superior credentials interested in hosting this event, most of them on other continents, so what's the priority here: Tradition or globalization of the sport?
