[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1118453, member: 73592"] I think the double ranking points are to provide a boost for lower ranking teams, who only really get (or got) their full squads together for RWC matches (think Argentina or PIs going back a couple of cycles), or further down, proper coaching (think Uruguay, Kenya etc getting WR appointed coaches for the year leading up to the RWC). I'd say that rationale is a bit more antiquated now anyway (largely, thanks to the profitability of the RWC), and would be happy enough to ditch it anyway. [/QUOTE]
