iceman530 Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Australia 2027, USA 2031 looks likely. My jaw would drop if Russia won either one of those bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Then Russia 2035 to continue following the Olympics lol Could actually happen - 2 in a row is coincidence, 5 or even 4 in a row would look like a test event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brekkie Boy Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 And England the womens event in 2025. No surprises there - if there is a relatively safe option on the table World Rugby usually go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My jaw would drop if Russia won either one of those bids. I've got no qualms about Australia hosting in 2027. It'll be a great RWC no doubt. I'd very much like to see the USA host but I also want to see an Eagles team that can get out of the first round. 2031 is more likely than 2027. The issue I see is World Rugby is still very much, as some Americans would say, a good ole boys club. There's not a lot of vision in terms of growing the game other than lip service. That's part of the reason the world cup has so many lopsided matches in pool play. There's a huge gap between the haves and have-nots. Sure, the world cup went to Japan and is set to be followed up by a traditional host in France, but the same hosts seem to be recycled (I thought 2023 was a perfect opportunity for Ireland yet that bid was somehow ranked behind South Africa which is a real headscratcher). Granted the other option was Russia, but I thought had Argentina managed to stay in this it would've been a great opportunity to not only grow the sport but host it in a country whose had success on the world stage. My understanding is World Rugbys' Agustin Pichot pushed Argentina to abandon their bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportLightning Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Unfortunately, Russia is likely to be banned for a while on hosting the Rugby World Cup following the war crisis with Ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brekkie Boy Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 There is no "unfortunately" about it. They must be banned from bidding for any event as long as Putin is in charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted April 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Could Sydney stage the first indoor Rugby World Cup final in 2027? Interesting tid-bit from the SMH. So we could see Accor Stadium (the Olympic Stadium) get a retractable roof if/when the 2027 RWC is confirmed. Somehow I doubt @Olympics2028 would be so keen on a repeat Sydney Olympics under that scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 2025 England is expected to host, Australia could be awarded the 2027 and 2029. And finally USA (my home country) could host the Rugby World Cup in 2031 and 2033 for the first time in US history.
