I rarely post but this is bit of a world cup fantasy of mine.
There could be more meaningful games at the world cup, especially for the teams who finish 3rd and 4th in their groups.
Why not have a "bowl "type secondary competition for the teams who finished 3rd and 4th in their pools.
Fans are not going to go anywhere if their teams still have something to play for and it gives an opportunity to sell rugby to all the countries that are close but so far from even qualifying for a world cup.
The games would of been competitive should such a format been at the last world cup.
Anyone on this ?
