[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 137680"] Wales have a WC match at home thanks to a process known as a "rigged vote." Before the vote for the 2007 RWC, France said to Wales "I'll give you a group match and a Quarter Final berth if you vote for me" and Wales, being easily bought, said "okay." New Zealand also benefitied from this modern and progressive way of deciding where to hold a World Cup. Because Japan didn't have anything of value in Rugby terms to offer, they simply couldn't compete with the tantilising prospect of repeat lucrative All Black tours to your home stadium (or, to put it another way "guaranteeing lots of money for your revenue streams and monetizing your home stadium"). Imagine the scene during the New Zealand RFU presentation on why they should get the World Cup: <Ireland> Can you hear anything from this guy? All I can hear is a cash register going "cha-ching! cha-ching!" <England> All I can hear is a Fruit Machine going "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!" I don't even think anyone even attended Japan's presentation. The fags. [/QUOTE]
