[QUOTE="LiRFCMatt, post: 759547, member: 72144"] The prospect of a week without rugby is painful. What is everyone's thoughts on a Rugby World Shield in which those teams that missed out on the knockouts (Japan, Italy, England...) continue in a tournament that not only keeps my rugby thirst well and truly quenched, and not only lets me cheer on teams that have impressed (Japan, Georgia...) but also improves the rugby of tier 2 nations and gives them more opportunities to compete against good or equally matched sides. EDIT: ESPN Scrum have an article on it - [url]http://www.espn.co.uk/rugby/story/_/id/13858996/rugby-world-cup-organisers-stage-bowl-shield-plate-competitions-boost-tier-2-tier-3-minnows-greg-growden-writes[/url] [/QUOTE]
