[QUOTE="Toko_11, post: 843909, member: 39484"] It wouldn't mean much, Tier 2 nations can play amongst themselves outside rwc anyway. Plus there are way more finances involved with a lot less reward. Injuries also wouldn't be worth it, etc etc. In short, after you're knocked out it's better to go home and start planning for the next one, for the players it's better to go on a well-deserved rest. Most of the players cut their summer vacations in RWC years and get them after the tournament instead, so the rest time afterward is pretty much essential for their well bieng, especially for Tier 2 teams who are short on players. TL;DR Not worth the effort and resources. Also personally I've never been a fan of consolation and participation trophies. If you lose, you lose. better luck next time. [/QUOTE]
