[QUOTE="Wellycane, post: 147907"] I think Wales deserved to have games played at Millenium. But apart from that, the France World Cup organizers probably thought they were confident the French team would certainly top their table and play their quaters at Stade de France - the biggest venue in the competition. I don't think they could've done it any other way. The All Blacks are quite popular (I believe) thus deserved a quater-final venue at Millenium Stadium - second biggest. And since the 2003 World Cup, the format has always been 'Winner Pool A vs Runner-up Pool B' , 'Winner Pool C vs Runner-up Pool B'...etc...and that's the process I think is taken under the IRB's hands, not the World Cup Organizers.
