[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 619129, member: 56767"] Indeed. Chief number there is [B]one[/B]. They had 2 guaranteed positions prior to entering the Rabo. If they were to leave the Rabo it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to expect to retain their two places. Especially if no new qualifying format was in place at the time of their decision to leave the Rabo... So, that leaves us with: 6 English 6 French 2 Italian ?? between the Rabo3 (Ireland/Scotland/Wales) If its 18+2winners = 20, then that leaves 4 places between 3 nations (who between them have won 4 of the last 5 grand slams). Does anyone see that actually happening? [/QUOTE]
