[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 877449, member: 50079"] New Zealand won't vote for us, despite all we threw their way in return for a vote, because they said they'd vote with what the report recommended. The same report surely would have poleaxed them for the same reasons as us, but oh well. I agree with Alpha the safety and security factor not being in our favour is a farce, but I think some of it came down to SA and France providing a far more extensive strategy (that we likely wouldn't need). That said the money is also unfairly weighted. We're a small country, we more than have the means provided to make the tournament a huge success. It was definitely a fair point that some of our stadiums need work, and I'd add our transport systems are quite disjointed and a mess. [/QUOTE]
