[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 607412, member: 50236"] Why not reduce the numbers participating in the RWC by taking only the top 12 in the rankings at a given date or best finishers in the previous RWC and give four places to the other nations who would have to play their own mini RWC two years before the main one with the semi finalists qualifying for the main event. Then the real RWC could have just four groups of four with one from the mini RWC, one from the top 4 in the standings, one from the middle four and one from the bottom four in each group. The top teams of each group only would qualify for the semi finals..... This strengthens the quality of the RWC, reduces the costs to paticipating and hosts nations (meaning smaller nations can host it) and supporters and reduces the time the whole thing takes with constant reduction in player fatigue....................!
