[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 618832, member: 48703"] I really hope Ireland doesn't get it. It would almost certainly mean that there would be yet another RWC won on the basis of winning voted by giving games to Wales or Scotland which seems to happen every other tournament. Also Ireland got poor crowds for their minnow matches in 1999 which should count against them. Argentina has never had a RWC close at all, has far less issues with stadia and will be a much more professional outfit by then. They are a more logical option, only voting arrangements like we saw from France to beat England for 2007, or New Zealand to beat Japan for 2011 could win Ireland a vote. [/QUOTE]
