[QUOTE="Melhor Time, post: 483932, member: 20116"] I fully agree with you. Limerick has not delivered for tests but something has to be done. Ireland vs Samoa can´t pack Aviva Stadium. So bite the bullet and give it to Thomond Park. Convincing others that Ireland, or anyone, is a real World Cup hosting option involves a record os spreading matches to show that it would work in the event that a World Cup comes to town. I point out that Ireland is lacking having tests outside of Dublin while Argentina is actively moving away from Buenos Aires to stage matches nation wide. In utilizing many different venues and attracting crowds it is a model for success. i.e in 2012 Argentina vs Italy, San Juan Argentina vs France, Córdoba Argentina vs France, Buenos Aires (tba soon) Argentina vs South Africa, Mendoza Argentina vs New Zealand, La Plata Argentina vs Australia, Rosario BTW all are over 40,00 except for San Juan which is 25,000.
