[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 147688"] Hmmm two other things of note; Northern Hemisphere Rugby aint anywhere near where it should be given this is the world cup. Only France look capable of competing but depending on the results over the weekend they may be walking into a quarter final V's New Zealand. THis leads me nicely onto point two. The way the French crowds have turned out and supported every single match is an absolute credit to the Nation. Every game has had a fantastic, almost carnival, atmosphere. The minnows have been cheered at every turn and pretty much every team has been treated with respect. Contrast that with the atmosphere's (or lack of) in Cardiff and Edinburgh. It goes to show the value of keeping the tournament in one country. I hope we dont see this kind of nonsense again. Finally, on the minnows. Its been an impressive run, but were still seeing the 70-100 point drubbings we have always seen. I still believe that four teams should be removed for the next tournament. [/QUOTE]
