[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1096807, member: 74121"] Hurrah! I think you may be the first person I've heard who is broadly on the same page as me for this. Fair qualification is key (not 3 out of 5 in every group autoqualifying). I get grief for voicing this in Tier2 circles with the most valid counterargument being that RWC inclusion can boost domestic playing numbers and revenue. Taking NA as an example I can't day I've seen much evidence of that over the years. Heck, up until SLAR, MLR and RESC I'd even have explored cutting the RWC to 16 teams. [/QUOTE]
