[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 454493, member: 42683"] I think everyone agrees that the lower-ranked teams had a disadvantage this RWC, and the only way it can be changed is to have pools with 4 teams in stead of 5. Also I think it's ridiculous that you qualify for the following World Cup by finishing 3rd in the group stage. Back in 1995 it was only the runner-up and no. 3 who were automatically qualified (which brought some extra value to the 3rd/4th place play off. The downside is, when should teams like Scotland, Italy, Argentina and Ireland find the time to play qualification matches with the 4/6 Nations already being on the calendar? I just think it would be nice to have the bigger teams qualify because it would automatically bring some extra matches for the minnows where they can actually prove themselves and grow [/QUOTE]
