[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 1096776, member: 70842"] I guess it depends how you look at it. If you did 6 pools of 4 to a quarter final it would mean the top 6 and the two highest points 2nd places go through. It turns into pretty much turns the game between the two highest ranked teams into a knock out rugby match nearly. Personally teams that are improving at decent rates so Portugal, Spain need rewarding and as shown by the growth of Chile a rugby world cup spot can be what's needed for teams to take it up another level. Would Japan be as good as they are if they didn't have a easy qualification in all the previous years? Say if Japan had to go through a Asia/Oceania tournament v Fiji, Tonga and Samoa instead of v Hong Kong/South Korea and didn't make any rugby world cups would there be as much money in the sport as there is now?
