[QUOTE="Jethro, post: 282261"] Hard to see how they are going to run with this one. On the one hand huge show piece they'll want good rugby being played with no blow outs, on the other huge opportunity to promote the game into the "third tier". Not sure how Olympics work, at least in Rugby don't the hosting nation automatically get a place? I would run with a 24 team first up, six years is certainly long enough for nations like Uruguy(?), Nambia, and Kenya to put their programs in place and be competitive. Guess we'll have some sort of regional quota system similar to the one Football uses to select the teams. Be interesting to see who steps up to the plate through the next few years, picking the Northern Europeans to suddenly start taking more of an interest, along with Korea. [/QUOTE]
