You have been incredibly rude and you now expect to carry on a conversation without apology. That isn’t happening. Goodbye

Retired tech founder who wants a more equal world and for Bristol Bears to win the Premiership Rugby final. Not too much to ask is it ?

The decision to hold the World Cup in the “US is all about money, not rugby”. Do you not understand context and the posts being commented on.
-
World Rugby are the ones who only care about money, not sports fans anywhere. Telling someone that they don’t know what they are talking about is rude and no amount of deflecting will change that.

In my view, the decision to go to the US had little to do with the US teams performance and more about an obsession with “cracking” the US market. That is my opinion, I won’t be as rude to you as you have been to me.

In an area with zero roots rugby. The US is all about money, not rugby. Maybe the women’s RWC with Ilona Maher, but the men’s is a total waste of time

Thought they were very unlucky with injuries, but suspect the coaching team will not be too disappointed. The forwards fronted up well again and, even with the loss of three top backs, they still look dangerous.
-
And therein lies the problem. The bid process is very expensive and, with World Rugby’s poor record with developing nations, it doesn’t exactly make a potential bidder believe they have a real chance. A more sensible approach would be to use a World Cup to grow the game in a region.

Yep, so shortsighted. So much better to break South America where they have could get a large market in Argentina, Chile and Brazil. It’s not the US, but it’s one hell of a lot of people and the game is alive there.

Donald and Melania , they’ll be like John and Yoko, but with slightly more gold bling.

The idiocy of awarding the Rugby World Cup to the USA grows more obvious game by game. Just imagine what that RWC could have done in South America or the Iberian peninsula.
