[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 847439, member: 50079"] All of this NH/SH stuff is silly. What connection do we have to Japan whereby them hosting a RWC benefits us? I'll grant you it was nice that the English held it last time as it was nearby, but that's the only case where I can see the NH/SH stuff as a legitimate argument. Besides Japan are a lot closer linked to SANZAR than they are to us. We have nothing to do with them, whereas the growth of the game in Japan could directly benefit Super Rugby in years to come. They want the Sunwolves experiment to be a success. What are you on about? My god you sound like fox news. What terrorist attacks have there been in Ireland in recent years? We're a relatively isolated island nation. We don't have a large immigrant population and do not marginalize those immigrants we have. Our largest immigrant groups are Polish, British, Lithuanian, Latvian and Nigerian in that order. We're quite far flung from Islamic terror. We even have more South Africans than people from countries linked with terror in Europe. You're honestly going to try and claim SA is safer than Ireland when you clearly haven't the first notion about it? Ah it's nice that the travel agents will tell you where not to go, but I'd rather go to a tournament where being mugged is not a likelihood anywhere I walk. What's the likelihood we are targeted in a terror attack? Probably as low as it gets. Definitely lower than in South Africa. I don't say this to be rude to you or about South Africa, but you have to know it's more dangerous than Ireland. [/QUOTE]
