Be interesting to see where the training bases are

Assume one in Banbridge as it has some of the best facilities

Dumps like Ballynahinch will luckily miss out

Probably need 5-6 training grounds in Ulster

Agreed

2 good venues

Maybe a North Coast and a Donegal

Enniskillen too

Yip good for sailing or canoeing but not a heck of a lot of good as a training base for a RWC team

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

I don't know about that... World Rugby may not want the RWC to be perceived as a bit of a sideshow compared to the much bigger event the year after. There has been some talk that this has been happening with RWC 2019 / Tokyo 2020. So for example, some sponsors will commit to the Olympics a few years in advance and won't do other events.
