Hopefully the change will bring in more sponsors and more fans.

Huh, why?

Perhaps no?

The rebrand will have no impact on Rugby World Cup 2015 branding or positioning, which will remain as it is with its iconic logo throughout the current event cycle.

Noooo, first the Hello Kitty revelations, now this. Is anything even real?

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

In case you confused it with Institutional Review Board

Makes, zero sense to me.

A rose by any other name still stinks of the same old turds rotting up the place with their administrative burden and brains trust aka the retard collective.


Ag, lemme just calm down.

The balance of power of World Rugby should be held jointly in SA and NZ, much like they did with cricket: we're the only two countries that actually mean anything in the sport. Without either of us, your world cup and world ranks and WORLD concept is just a european dump.


/okay, going away to calm down now. Muttering, swearing, etc but going away.
