[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 607484, member: 39190"] Is that a serious question? You know ALL teams ending top 3 in each pool gets automatic qualification, right? That is a pretty effective way to get a large portion of qualification sorted and you can be relatively sure these 12 teams would be in a merit top 20 in any case. If you want to stamp out injustice, get rid of the skewed fixtures ITO turn around times the 'lesser' teams have to deal with at RWCs. Ag, enough with the Afropessimism. Namibia is a cool guy. In 1995 Japan shipped 145 point to NZ. Now they are respectable. Namibia had a shocker and shipped 142 to Aus in 2003 but have improved. Maybe if they have another 8 years they too could get to be respectable. But don't go toss a whole continent for what? A team that might lose by 50 instead of 60? What would be the point? [/QUOTE]
