It's a shame that Georgia (it could be any Union) plays against the best rugby national team and it would not be at your best.
Damn schedule! And if it's a +50 point game, don't count it as an argument to not consider Georgia as a potential contender to be part of the 6Ns.
TV-rights will play a hug thing in this new decision. I just want to let you know that for the first time, here in Mexico, we will have live and complete transmission of the tournament. 99% increase after perhaps 2 minutes quick recap of the all blacks tournament victory.
24 team tournament...
Even the Italians are willing to share the host. It would be really cool to see some games in Switzerland, Austria or Slovenia. :-)

I didn't get even one ticket. I apply for 4 different games and nothing.
I don't know if people outside the 20 participant countries got something.
My question now will be, how they want to sell the rest tickets in November when they had to ballot all 48 games. Not even chance for a "low...
Us in terms of the same continent and supporting Argentina as the only t1 nation in this area.
Perhaps in a couple of decades Mexico will be a t2 nation and still then I will support Argentina at the RC.
I don't want to be negative even if the lose is just in front of us.
Nevertheless I want to believe that this is the best moment to buildup a new team for the RWC, there still over 12 top games before the big show. So let's hope to see the pumas at quarterfinals next year.
By the way, I...
I hope not! From now on till RWC is that they should get at least a couple of test against tier 2 nations. For sure they don't have even one game against this opposition.
An invitation to any cup in Georgia or Romania next spring would be fantastic. They deserve it!!
I don't think that Colombia will play a boring game. They will play their best football against Brazil and they will not have any chance to overcome this beautiful salsa dance!!!
If it's so, Brazil will kill the joga bonito because this time they have nothing!!!
Well, basically that's the main idea. Brazil needs the trophy!!! Otherwise and after all that money spent, there'll be a revolution in the country... Of course nobody wants that, right Dilma?
You're right, I forgot that tour. The thing here is that Italy didn't play with a "full" team. Some uncap players did tour and for sure they learned a big lesson. Next 6N will be the point where we realize if Italy can hold that T1 ***le.
Nevertheless if Romania or Canada manage to win against...
I don't know if Scotland would keep their spot if they had gone to do the Italian tour. Let's be honest, to play the islands in that quite warm weather is not an easy task.
Now is Scotlands' turn to visit them :-)
Even if Germany lose the game, it would be great for them to perform against a tier 2 nation prior the next years ENC. perhaps a couple of test match in november against Belgium or any other team? not bad!
