[QUOTE="up'n'under, post: 231612"] Why did they do the draw so early? The RWC is almost 3 freakin yrs. away! Also what do the rankings as of Nov. 2008 have to do with how good teams will be in 2011? 40% of the field hasn't even qualified yet. It creates kind of a weird situaton where now teams know who they will face based on how they qualify.I'm not saying anyone will throw a match or anything but it kind of takes the fun out of it.If you win your qualifier your reward is getting a century put up on you by the All Blacks,yippee! Why didn't they at least hold off on placing the qualifiers and do a seperate draw after the teams had achieved their spots? [/QUOTE]
