[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1140787, member: 74121"] Okay, if you won't answer either of my two very easy questions. Correct my 'opinion' with a fact. How does finishing 1st in your group for NZ or Pumas increase their mathematical chances to win a QF? (assuming top ranked Tier1 sides progress to QF, which is extremely likely). In terms of fielding weak teams. I am not predicting coaches will preserve their star players. I am saying some sides should not have gone full blooded in warm ups (as you said) and that some sides should carry this forward into the pool stages. I think coaches would feel they will get a lot less criticism for playing and losing an Ntamac than they would for playing an under strength side and finishing second in their group (even if the latter would increase their chances of overall success if it meant avoiding a key injury or red card).
