Rugby fans have delivered an overwhelming verdict on who should host the 2035 Rugby World Cup, with one nation leaving its rivals trailing.
With the race to stage rugby's biggest tournament gathering pace, RUCK asked its Instagram followers which country they would most like to see host the competition.
And the result was anything but close.
Spain stormed to victory, securing a remarkable 81% of the vote.
Of the 261 fans who took part, 211 backed Spain, while the other two options received just 28 and 22 votes.
It was a landslide victory for the European hopefuls, who are hoping to stage the tournament for the first time.
Spain's ambitious World Cup plans
Spain officially entered the race in October, with some of football's most famous stadiums potentially set for a rugby makeover.
Barcelona's Camp Nou and Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu are both being considered as possible venues for the final.
Atlético Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium and Valencia's Mestalla are also among the proposed venues.
The Spanish Rugby Federation believes the country can deliver the "best World Cup in history".
Spain will also return to the Rugby World Cup in 2027, ending a 28-year absence from the men's tournament.
Who else wants to host the 2035 Rugby World Cup?
Spain faces competition from two rival bids.
Japan wants to bring the tournament back to Asia after successfully hosting the 2019 edition.
Meanwhile, Argentina has joined forces with Uruguay, Chile and Brazil in an ambitious South American proposal.
As RUCK reported earlier this week, England and South Africa are not pursuing bids.
According to World Rugby's official timetable, a preferred host will be identified in May 2027.
The final decision is expected in November 2027.
For now, Spain has certainly won over RUCK's Instagram voters. Whether it can convince World Rugby remains to be seen.
