[QUOTE="Toko_11, post: 756162, member: 39484"] I agree to a point.. but 3 or 4 teams that only missed out on the RWC are probably the same level as Namibia and URU.. and in few years we could get very promising Germany/Belgium pair up there.. as it stands it would be almost impossible for them to qualify anytime soon but extra slots will create more incentives to work hard.. I'd also think Portugal and Russia are generally better teams than URU and NAM even though Russia lost to Namibia for repechage but that was more due to their terrible coaching for the last 4 years.. *cough* Kinglsey Jones *cough* mr.arriving at the training ground day before the game.... [COLOR=#000000] Agreed, I'm sorry for Fiji they didn't deserve to be in this group.. probably the best Pacific Island team atm. Wales Aus Eng in one pool is also a shame. That is why we need more groups of 4... lets be honest the 5 group pools were never ideal, we just had to make do.. but now that the game is moving forward we will have opportunities to change and improve. and if current minnows improved so much why wouldn't the 4 additional teams do the same ? especially when you have some promising prospects like Germany, Russia and Brazil in the fold.
