Quentin probably bombarded them with stats showing that Ireland is in sub-zero temperatures during Sept/Oct and that Ireland would capsize if 20,000 people all landed here at the same time. See Guam - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjG958lZ1KI

Surely it works the other way?! As a ginger I go from my normal Walking Dead grey to a lobster red in the sun of Italy or SA so it has to be Ireland!

I'd be happy with Italy or SA.

A new host in a fantastic country or a rugby powerhouse.

- An environment conducive to Cyril's good spirits.

They think of everything, these World Rugby chaps.

Will the judging criteria be consistently applied?

Hell is it even understood?

But most importantly is Craig Revel Horwood on the judging panel?

Indeed

Is anyone else entering a bid?

Well given most of our nominated stadiums have no seats and we have next to no public transport infrastructure, I'd think Ireland will allow fans plenty of opportunity to stretch their legs.

Public Transport?


Cyril already gave the details on that aspect rodders.

I got on a bus once.  And a train. And a taxi.  

Sorted.

Seats is it? You want seats as well?

Croke Park and Lansdowne have them. Isn't that enough?

Then there's RDS and Thomond and Ravenhill. They have them too.

Thats plenty to be going on with.

Did they let you off again too????


You lucky git! I was always told that would be extra.

I did too. The people smelled bad and I never did it again.

Use the taxis to transport the seats to where they're needed. Use your heads people! We can do this!

I found some seats in Semple, Pairc Ui Chaiomh, and Gaelic Ground as well.
