<p>Ireland is less than a third the size of New Zealand geographically. Why didn't you just compare it to Australia? There's no logic in your analogy at all.</p>

<p><strong>Most outsiders would regard the 2011 RWC is perhaps the worst so far, with the possible exception of 1991.</strong></p>

<p>Rowan where the source of this claim? I asked you to back it up with some facts, most outsiders is a very bold claim. Surely you have evidence?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope that wasn't too harsh and you feel the need to report it.</p> -
<p>I'm just astonished anyone could out winger Winger. It's almost like one of you is winding the rest of us up.</p>

<p>I'd say SA maintains a good level of success despite their incompetent Union.</p> -
This is a complete wind up. <br><br>
The guy has never been to either country and is just throwing out incendiary remarks to get a reaction. <br><br>

THe temperatures I provided for October (not September) were taken directly from official sources. It's well known Northern Ireland, in particular, has pretty rotten weather. 9 degreees, 74% chance of rain, two hours' of sunshine a day, dark by mid-afternoon.</p></blockquote>

<p>"<span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">they gave the cup to Qatar despite its size?"</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, as already mentioned, this was greeted with widespread approval and enthusiasm, and provides the perfect argument in favour of a Rugby World Cup in Ireland. </p>

<p>i recall the sizest arguments against Qatar right from the beginning, "forget the human rights abuses, the extreme heat, the corruption " they said "its too small" and thats why fifa want to take it off them.</p> -

<p>If you claim something like the 2011 rwc was the worst or Belfast weather the onus is on you to prove it . You failed both times.</p> -
