So:
- Reduce amount of teams from 20 to 18,
- No teams from same country able to be in the same group, and
- Semi finals become a two legged affair.
I don't think I like any of those ideas. A two legged knockout game seems very bad for rugby with how scoring works and the attritional nature of the sport.
