[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 446165, member: 43400"] Exactly, if you expand the RWC duration, the other tournaments suffer, if you reduce the number of teams to 16, the teams get a better rest, but we don't get to see the Namibia's play at all ... if you make five groups of four, you will probably get more rest time, but complications as to who qualifies as the next best team for the quarter finals. ... Two separate tournaments run in conjunction, with maybe the top 16, and the next best 16 is an option, but we wouldn't get the Namibia's playing the top sides, and whether any of the TV companies would be interested in covering the second tournament is also debatable ... not sure what the best solution is [/QUOTE]
