There have been no discussions with the Rugby Football Union about Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland bidding to jointly host the 2023 Rugby World Cup. England will host the Rugby World Cup next year and I am sure that the RFU will be happy to share lessons learned with the All-Ireland bid.
