[QUOTE="miccloarch, post: 1151684, member: 78309"] Actually, it let's the team on the receiving end know exactly how far away they are from the standard. Remember when the ABs beat SA 57-0? Look what happened next. Slightly different paradigm because SA are expected to be a lot better and have more resources blah blah but the same principle applies. I'm all for the plate/shield/bowl competitions as well but the important changes should happen outside of the World Cup: [LIST] [*]One or two relegation spots in the 6/5N; Promotion through Rugby Europe championship or whatever its called; [*]One or two relegation spots in the RC; Promotion through the Pacific Nations cup; [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
