    @mikedogz what a stupid system...reads like we expect hosts SA to qualify, but they didn't so we will find a way for them to, any other comp would have them 6th

    @taniwharugby you have time to delete this... I'm seeing comments like yours on FB as well. I'd be more concerned about the NZ side than SA getting into the semi finals

      @slammer why would I delete this?

      It was tongue in cheek because rugby is good at convoluted tables for playoffs, particularly in the SH.

      We weren't good enough, so my comment had nothing to do with that.

        @taniwharugby was a bit of joke from myself. I do get why people who maybe have not followed the JWC previously look at the table and question why Georgia don't make the semis given this positive points difference but this is a rule that's been in place for as long as I can remember.

          Why only the 12 teams?

          Unlike women's 7s there's plenty of competitive countries that could naked up the next 4.

          Scotland, Samoa, Tonga are 3.

          Then you'd think the States, Canada, Romania would be competitive.

            There is also an U20 Trophy tournament, featuring eight teams, to be held in Kenya from 15-30 July.

              Those teams can’t even qualify for the next tier comp.

              One option is to have 10 teams in both comps instead of 12 and 8.

              Have two pools of 5 teams. Top two teams from each pool go into semis and there is a relegation of the bottom two teams the finalists of the second tier comp go up next time.

                    Fiji is currently leading Italy at HT.

                    Even though the sun is shining the Paarl field is still shit.
