[QUOTE="chinwaggler, post: 152600"] i dont think the potential profits should be a gauge to whether the number of participants in a world cup should be reduced or not. it should be decided purely on the games of rugby that will happen. even though there have been some big point differences this world cup, the fact that wales, ireland, italy and almost scotland didn't make it to the finals shows that the quality of rugby is evening out between the top and lower ends of the rankings. also i'm sure more countries are starting to become interested in playing rugby at a high international level. that old 'communist bloc' has a larger audience than ever and reducing the number of participants wouldn't do them any good. also, even when losing, some of the lower ranked teams are excited because they are losing by less :cheers: . i vote no [/QUOTE]
