[QUOTE="miccloarch, post: 967054, member: 78309"] Not to cause a stir but the "ineligible players" charge was nonsense. World Rugby even gave Spain a rematch but then later reneged. Just ask yourself how it's possible only Spain, Romania and Belgium - the very teams involved in the fixed game - are the only ones to field ineligible players during qualifying. I'm with you here, and the 24 team format, but a lot has to happen in between World Cups for that to be viable. Like the NH and SH tier 1 unions letting go of their power struggle a bit and actually supporting tier 2 nations instead of just paying lip service like always. [/QUOTE]
