Great to see Tonga pull off the upset against France today - especially in light of their loss to Canada earlier in the tournament. It was also a great indicator of how good the smaller teams can be when they're given decent recovery time between games like the bigger teams get.
The question is, do results like this encourage the IRB to finally produce a fairer draw for the next tournament or does it discourage them by making them scared of the bigger teams (and TV markets) leaving early? Or am I giving the IRB too much credit by thinking that they'll pay any attention at all?
