[QUOTE="Boggle, post: 116550"] I think it's unfair really. Look we don't really want teams like Namibia or Portugal to get trashed 140-0 but it's quite arguebly the highlight of these nations' rugby calenders. if they don't play top oposition every now and then they just arn't going to get better, and what we really want is for this to turn into the spectacular show that is the Fifa world cup (*minus the fakeness of course*) where anyone has a realistic chance of winning the cup (*well not everyone, but more than there is in Rugby*). Let's face it, the chance of Scotland winning this world cup isn't that great, yet we still accept them as being a second tier nation (*which they righfully are*) that allmost automatically deserve to qualify for the world cup. why then can't we just let the other teams play aswell ? If anyone can give me a well constructed arguement on this subject I'd be willing to listen, but I just think it's unfair to countries like Namibia, japan, Portugal, etc. [/QUOTE]
