Rugby World Cup Reduction

To my dissapointment it seems that the power brokers in world rugby would like to reduce the teams from 20 to 16.

Well if any of the power brokers watched the game between Ireland and Goergia on the weekend then please remember that the RWC is a festival of rugby and should stay that way.  How can you call it a World Cup if the world is not allowed to play.

When you watch these games you know that in most cases the smaller nations have no chance of winning, however as this RWC has shown the gap between the junior nations and the major is closing and the chance of an upset is what keeps the games interesting.
