[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1113380, member: 60236"] It may be interesting if they also add more teams. Looking at the 10-16 in the rankings, Italy, Georgia, Samoa and Fiji to be competitive enough. It just wouldn’t be as wild as football in terms of upsets and that’s down to both the nature of the game, professional levels of some of the lower teams and the general gap between the top 10 and the rest. But adding a last 16 as it currently stands would just make the group stages pointless. You’d likely need to increase it to 32, and there would thus likely be some New Zealand vs Japan 1995 type scores in the mix (maybe not as bad, but to 100) But anyway, good World Cup final. Highly entertaining. Terrible choice in host and I hope no large sporting Organisation would even consider them again given how they’ve done last second backtracks for future events (and avoid the massive bags of money) [/QUOTE]
