    I think Burgs posted up ground capacities for RWC games in NZ. All mainly a lot smaller than France grounds.Hence per head to make a quid with 20 teams, cost of admission would be nasty and put off punters. Also local infrastructure would be bursting at the seems trying to accomodate the tourist invasion, ie Dunedin, Hamilton, Queenstown, Invergargill etc. If the Kiwis host a 20 team comp they will probably lose money. Why dont they just ask their mates over the dutch to give them a hand. Just a thought

    My thoughts exackerly. If they are not up to the task - again - the IRB should make the decision for them.

    I wonder if the reduced numbers were in their bid submission?
    If not they should be held to the task as agreed...and build the proposed Auckland foreshore stadium!
