Australia’s World Cup bid bosses are about to launch a major charm offensive in England but there are some key promises they need to lock in at home first, writes geerob

The clock is ticking on Rugby Australia’s push for $300 million in government guarantees to help secure the 2027 World Cup.

It is a crucial show of credibility during the bid process and demonstrates the aspiring hosts have the backing of government to pull off a major sporting event. “I’m confident that we’ve done a hell of a lot of work with World Rugby and they know we are a safe pair of hands for the jewel in their crown,” he said. “I also know we’re confident we’ve done some really good work with our state and federal governments here to garner their support, and I also know we’ve done a lot of work with the state bodies [unions] and grassroots stakeholders to make sure we have their support.

“If Australia get 2027 and the US 2031, then Australia would like to have some Americans as part of the tournament team to help guide them in their passage to hosting their first World Cup,” Kearns said.
