[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 873635, member: 13611"] Trying to be impartial, France appear to be trying to buy the bid and their threat to raid SA, Australia and NZ of talent should they not win the bid leaves a very sour taste. SA's government is a mess and is their bid any better than the last 3 times they failed? Ireland have the worst stadiums and worst climate of the 3 bidding nations. The votes of Scotland and Wales will decide who hosts the tournament. Should they vote for France, it'll put more money in France's coffers which is exactly what the Celtic Nations don't need as they look to strengthen the Pro14. However I'm sure Ireland screwing Wales out of their 1999 World Cup horse trading deal won't go down well in the WRU. [/QUOTE]
