# Rugby: The local governing body says there are no plans to bid for 2035’s World Cup, despite the comments from minister of Sport Gayton McKenzie. He said this week he wouldn’t rest after South Africa hosts the tournament again after the Springboks won the home tournament in 1995. But SA Rugby’s president, Mark Alexander, and CEO Rian Oberholzer say it’s financially unfeasible for World Rugby to bring the tournament to South Africa because the international governing body can gain much more financially in Europe from its biggest money-spinner.
