[QUOTE="vasysm, post: 758111, member: 73342"] This is not an important argument, given that Tier 1 teams play each other every year, in their traditional tours and tournaments. The main purpose of a World Cup is the "world" component, to paint a picture of the state of World Rugby (hint hint :D ) and make sure all playing nations are involved in qualifying and have their spots on the grand stage of the final tourney. Upsets happen. So what? The ball is oval, after all, and has a tendency to bounce its own way. [/QUOTE]
