[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 879244, member: 20605"] Well at least it wasn't the worst possible decision; that would have been awarding it to South Africa due to the current state of both the political situation there and the subsequent appalling state that SARU is in. Awarding them the RWC hosting rights could be construed as rewarding SARU and the SA Government for so-called "transformation" (which IMO is just a subterfuge to cover up the kind of race-based selection policies we haven't seen since Apartheid). I think even a few of the Saffas here would agree with me on this. I have no doubt that France will deliver a fantastic RWC, but there is no question in my mind that this RWC should have gone to Ireland. [/QUOTE]
