[QUOTE="Rowan Quinn, post: 780074, member: 32914"] A 24-team World Cup based on the 1986 - 1994 FIFA model would actually be a little shorter than the 20-team Rugby World Cup, and also involve a just a few more games. There would be six groups of four teams, leading to a second round, quarters, semis and final. With all teams playing one midweek game at the group stages, the 52 games could be played inside 5 weeks. The 20-team Rugby World Cup requires around 3 weeks just for the group stages, due to uneven number of teams and four games apiece, meaning the 48 games require about 6 weeks to complete. [/QUOTE]
