[QUOTE="Melhor Time, post: 483327, member: 20116"] That certainly seems to be the consensus but I hope its not correct. South Africa 2023 would hold back the expansion much more than giving 2011 to New Zealand. The reason is because so many potential hosts are now emergning and showing interest. Giving it to South Africa would discourage this significantly. 2023 has to go to Argentina or Italy with the other hosting 2027. No ifs or buts, this is the right thing to do. Both have sufficient rugby systems in place. Both have never hosted. Both teams are well supported and both are great tourist destinations. Time zones is an after thought but, nonetheless, it is a positive for both Argentina and Italy. Argentina actually [URL="http://www.rugbyworldcup-argentina2023.blogspot.com/search/label/Time%20Zone"]offers the best timezone possible[/URL]. The real reason I do´t want South Africa to host, aside from the fact that it already has, is the poor attendances that feature regularly aside from when South Africa is playing. The 2009 Lions tour featured poor attendances far too often. [/QUOTE]
