[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 111274"] Well the problem is that nations like Japan buck the trend of North - South because they don't really belong in either! Japan were the first nation to seriously contest a RWC outside of the allotted "North then South" model, thats why New Zealand were so worried. I mean, if Japan were in the Northern Hemisphere (rugby wise, not geographically) then they'd be in the Six Nations by now. The problem is that the Rugby World is changing and that the established model of "North vs South" is getting gradually more and more outdated. [/QUOTE]
