SOUTH AFRICA’S BID to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup has received a huge boost today with the news the country’s department of sport and recreation has lifted its ban on staging international tournaments.
The South African Rugby Union (SARU), Cricket South Africa and the governing bodies responsible for netball and athletics weren’t permitted to bid for, or host, major events having failed to meet transformation targets.
Despite the ban being imposed, SARU continued through World Rugby’s bidding process and emerged as one of three candidates, alongside Ireland and France, vying to stage the 2023 World Cup.
The lifting of the ban does, however, mean the South African government can now officially support SARU’s bid to bring the World Cup back to the country ahead of the final submission of bid documents on 1 June.
“Their right to bid for and host major sporting events, which was revoked before, is hereby immediately reinstated,” said sports minister Thulas Nxesi according to a statement issued by SA Rugby.
“I would like to congratulate rugby, cricket and netball on their improved scores, you were clearly willing to walk the extra mile.”
The World Rugby Council will announce the host union for the 2023 World Cup on 15 November.

There must be something wrong with the gear I bought. I haven’t gone running once in the last month. It’s the clothes fault.
I have 3 pieces of their running clothing and 1 piece of their cycling gear (not shorts) and they are a good as the Karrimor gear I picked up on Sports Direct.
The only running gear you need is runners, shorts and a T-shirt.. Everything else is just companies convincing people they need something. By spending more money you will not get fitter easier or faster.
Forgetting the beater man.

How’d you figure that out dandy?
If only there was a premium Irish sports shop chain that could fill the clear and obvious gaps in Aldi’s sports clothing range…
Not in like a good oul pair of aldidas runner’s
I always get the Aldi Fluorescent cycling rain jackets when there out. Great value at €28 odd. The exact same branded would be 70+
