[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1096481, member: 74121"] I think this is far better for Japan than their existing predicament of being excluded. I also think it is a good format and gives good fixtures for Sudamerica in the knockouts. It should also be marketable and it'll be interesting if we see decent revenue for Japan. As the article suggests it seems no Rugby Championship for Japan any time soon (boo!) and it's a little sad there is no Argentina XV. But overall, if I was drawing up a format this would be it. Fit this in with SLAR, MLR, the two Super Rugby side and the JRLO and the pieces are in place for a further step up for countries around the Pacific rim in my opinion. Assuming this is all full test matches. If qualification is based on top 4 ranked in Americas (and hopefully the same criteria in Asia-Pacific) then you have meaningful steps for the likes of Brazil and Korea to aspire to with their own moves into professionalism.
