    Haha, from the BBC website build up to the match this afternoon...couldn't agree more.

    "Everyone seems to think Wales are brilliant after the World Cup, but as many a cynical Englishman has pointed out, they haven't actually won much."

    To be fair though, there hasn't been a single RWC outside of the big countries ever so far (unless you include Wales' co-hosting in '91 ;)).

    Got Australia in a multi bet. They're offering $1.60 odds which I thought were quite good.

    Doesn't mean the minnows should get three in a row, they should start getting one in every three I reckon.
     
  5. BoyBlunder BOY Blunder

    Yeh getting 3 in a row is absurd.

    especially if it goes to russia, i can understand japan and then usa/canada, but what has russia done to prove they deserve hosting rights?
     
  7. BoyBlunder BOY Blunder

    Georgia of all the minnows should get it imo... seeing as they've been by far the best, and rugby is so well supported over there.

  10. Roaddogg AJ Izett

    not a minnow, but they deffo arent a superpower of the game
     
  11. Eds E Ames

    That's not what Blunder said though.

    I imagine they'll have some pretty top-notch facilities after the soccer WC.
     
  13. Roaddogg AJ Izett

    Qatar to get 2031 RWC by that logic?

    Wayne Barnes you spice up rugby :laugh:
     
  15. SmellyStuff MP Chung

    What's he done now?
     
  16. Jabba HJ Bots

    ruled a tackle which was easily legit a dangerous tackle giving wales a penalty 35m out infront of the sticks 2minutes left and behind by less than a penalty kick....

    :lol:

    After not sending off a Welsh player who even Warren Gatland said should have been red carded.

    Agreed, after the 2003 WC I'm pretty sure the Georgians announced that rugby was to become the national sport of Georgia, it's already far more popular than football in most of the country. Won't be long till they're a serious team. Providing they get the infrastructure in place.

    I don't mind it going round the minnow nations TBH, we still get Six Nations/ Tri-Nations every year and the autumn internationals. Yes it's nice to have the WC around but I really don't think it's a big deal.
     
  19. BigDougy DG Dafter

    Agree with Luffers here. As long as the right infrastructure is in place I would happy for the minnows to hose or joint host the WC.
