Local rugby might reap rewards if South Africa wins the 2023 World Cup

Botswana Rugby Union (BRU) is crossing its fingers that South Africa wins the right to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

The neighbouring country has moved ahead of rivals, France and Ireland, and is now favourite to be announced the next host of the World Cup.  The South African bid received favourable ratings ahead of France and Ireland but the decision would be ratified through the World Rugby Council ballot next Wednesday.
