[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 819712, member: 74121"] I think so, yes. The prospect of having four groups at a RWC that are competitive enough to mean that big, established nations run the risk of being eliminated will make the sport more exciting for Tier 1 supporters rather than the same old countries sleep walking into the quarter finals. That won't happen at 2019, but the way things are going it looks likely for 2023. Of course, if you are a Tier 1 supporter on the wrong end of a result it probably doesn't feel like that. Plus, the style of rugby now being played by teams like Scotland, and even a struggling Italy, is arguably a lot more entertaining than one dimensional performances they were putting out 5-8 years ago.
