i hadn't heard about Argentina but the article i read mentioned Russia
"Russia is the only other country that has signalled their intention to bid for the 2027 tournament, but that bid will almost certainly not be considered eligible, given Russia have been forbidden from bidding for major sporting events until the end of 2022 by a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling"

Resurrecting this
Looks like USA are going to bid.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/international/126744614/united-states-launches-bold-bids-for-mens-and-womens-rugby-world-cupsSounds awesome - reckon a trip around there would be sensational. I'd make an effort - take in some NFL, NCAA and rugby, eat bbq and just see some sights.
Would be good to see every other world cup going to a developing rugby nation - Argentina, USA, Japan, etc.

Totally agree. Think a US-hosted RWC would be awesome.
I also didn't even make an 'Australia' joke about rugby nations. @NTA respect?

yeah, but how damn good would a US based tournament be?
the only downside is distance - it'd be like having a games in Iraq and Ireland as part of a tournament
Australia similar for distance BUT only really Perth is taking the piss on that front.
TBH it would be great to go and see, but it is a bit more expensive to get to than a RWC here.
Hopefully the USA can pick themselves up and qualify for RWC2023 in the meantime.

USA would be great but personally I would prefer it go to Argentina who would also do an awesome job as hosts and are a genuine rugby nation. When I was in BA the day of a test the locals all knew what was going on - even if it is a football mad nation.
States - yeah / nah. Think rugby in Argentina deserves a boost and undoubtedly it would get one from hosting. In the US it's a very fringe sport. Like underwater hockey here
