[QUOTE="40/20, post: 1162415, member: 81577"] [U][URL]https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/rugby-world-cup-in-australia-shifted-to-avoid-clashes-with-nrl-afl-finals-20231025-p5eewv.html[/URL][/U] Aussie media also reporting it'll kick off and finish a few weeks later than usual (1-Oct-27 to 13-Nov-27) to avoid clashing with the NRL/AFL finals, and that the draw will take place in Jan-26. Draw timing is obviously an improvement, but still 18mths before kick-off. I still haven't heard a rational reason as to why WR needs so much lead time when FIFA can do their draw for a much larger and complex event only 6mths out. Are there fundamental differences in how each of the draws are carried out and what they each entail? [/QUOTE]
