[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 847645, member: 39240"] I know I'm Irish but not fussed where it goes BUT on your logic isn't it a bit flawed. Give it to South Africa as they haven't hosted it in x amount of years but overlook nation who've never hosted it? Separately Martin Johnson is backing Irelands bid. But he made few interesting points. He touched on Alphas point I think it was of Irish being event junkies. He said what makes a RWC great is atmosphere and crowds at every game and said Ireland are possibly the only nation that will guarantee sell outs in every game wheather it's Ireland v New Zealand or Romania vs Namibia. Also the lure of teams keeping same base and very minimum logistic worries. And his last point was key. Ireland has a big touristy image and that mixed with the rugby may grab alot more new people to the games not from Ireland but places like USA where they may visit Ireland and do RWC too. [/QUOTE]
