[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 965688, member: 72205"] Yeah I think grand conspiracy is also nonsence hometown calls by refs is to expected especially when their hosts and by far underdogs. It's costs host nations a huge amount to put on events like this and if you don't think they'll give their side every advantage in terms of scheduling you are sadly mistaken. Especially in a sport where it matters like rugby. Nobody whined when tier 1 sides have romped through the group stages the past decade and a half. But everyone moaned last time out when Japan got shafted. Now they get an advantage the entire thing is rubbish? Again utter nonsence. For the record I'm against 5 team groups for the reason it doesn't lead to even scheduling (and 5th place teams are a waste of space). But I don't kid myself who'd benefit from that system. [/QUOTE]
