# Rugby: Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, says he will not rest until South Africa hosts the Rugby World Cup again. The country last hosted the tournament in 1995, when the Springboks famously lifted the trophy on home soil at their first attempt. SA Rugby has launched several unsuccessful bids to host the global showpiece. Australia will host the 2027 World Cup, with the USA staging the 2031 edition. McKenzie says he is seeking sponsorship and government support for a possible 2035 bid.
