Australian Bid for 2027 World Cup

[kiap]

Best benefit would be if we could jag an U20 world title. Be a great boost.

France got that - against us - and their rugby is flying high these days.

IIRC too, we'd scored more tries in that final, ... goddammit.

Home field might've got us over the line?

Big RWC announcement Monday.

We are now the preferred candidate for 2029 too

I actually think getting 2029 is going to be very good for Aus, as I think Women's game is where a lot of growrh will come from.

I agree, a lot of government money getting invested in women’s sport at the moment. Also no way taking a shot at the women, but I feel it is a lot easier to close the gap between where we are and the best sides

I quite like Coopers beer, had that a lot since I moved here.

@Sully this was one post I've made where it has my full post count on there. This is my 74th post.

Two days to go until the World Rugby Council is scheduled to vote to confirm the allocation of up to five Rugby World Cups, including Australia's 2027 and 2029 preferred status bids

so happy. Carn the fucking Wallabies, time to write the wrongs of 03. Can remember crying my eyes out in 03 when we lost. Always been desperate to see the World Cup back here

Isn't it great to turn on the TV and see rugby all over the news.

Hopefully AB are based in Brisbane or Melbourne, have whanau if both so makes it (a) cheaper & (b) easier to get Mrs WOB who "doesn't really do rugby" on board.

Except Channel 9 this morning where AFL and NRL took precedence.

They mentioned it on ABC Radio when I woke up, which is rare.

I've heard the AB's are going to be based in Wilcannia.

 

[Sheepie]

It was either there or Nuaru?

The abc is pathetic when it comes to rugby, they refuse to promote it

16 pages back in the Herald Sun & only a little article & not even a mention in the Geelong Advertiser.

Newscorp are a disgrace

It was all over news breakfast this morning, including an interview with Marinos

 

[KevinO]

It got a mention on Gold 104 in Melbourne this morning, doubt MMM would mention it.
