[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 873803, member: 13611"] Japan won the hosting rights to the 2019 World Cup more than 4 years before winning the hosting rights to the Olympics. As much as I'd love to say the RWC is a bigger event, it patently isn't so I can't imagine it was a concern to the IOC. It has been intimated that World Rugby aren't entirely happy with Tokyo 2020 overshadowing Japan 2019. Now knowing that the 2024 Olympic venue has been decided before the 2023 World Cup, World Rugby can influence the decision to keep the tournament away from France [B]if[/B] they feel the Paris Olympics will distract from the RWC. I want the best bid to win regardless of where it's from. I hope the best bid comes from Ireland. [/QUOTE]
