ROBBIE Deans will enjoy a World Cup homecoming to Christchurch in 2011 with the Wallabies pencilled in to base their campaign in the New Zealand city.
Preliminary allocations by tournament organisers are understood to have Deans' home city down as Australia's allocated headquarters for pool games, and for a possible quarter-final.
A Christchurch base could give the Wallabies a "home" ground advantage in any game they played there because of Deans' huge popularity in the region to which he brought five Super rugby titles.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
I'm in, regardless of whether they are pencilled or penned in for Christchurch.

They should just base themselves in Auckland - they'll have to move up there when they play the finals anyway
