[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 630722, member: 43400"] Exactly ... If you are going to drop a side solely for it's poor performance, you have to use the same yard stick to measure all sides, so, therefore, Italy would have to be dropped also, and you could make a case for France as well, based on them finishing last, last year ... anyway, if the likelihood of winning was the only criteria, then no one would play each other. ... but the IRB mantra is expanding the game, isn't it ... and that doesn't just mean expanding it into non-traditional markets, or helping the second and third tier markets. It's also about helping sides with a proud rugby history, such as Scotland, back to a competitive status [/QUOTE]
