It should have the Top 14 (or whateva) from the UK At Worlds, The US has 4-5 reps, UK is similar. Whilst France, Japan etc etc get none Why is it different for Worlds? | ||

Member 566, 813 posts SQ 280, BP 175, DL 340795.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq | Bollock's!!! As it stands it is probably the best format it could be. With the Welsh having two places means the top guy goes, then the next best one to see if he can make his mark. You have to allow for injuries. Myself and Dale where supposed to go last year and Dale pulled out. Rich Smith stepped in, and no disrespect, but people didn't think he would do well. But he proved himself. There has never been two really good guys go over, so why now. I went last year as I qualified by right, but I was s**t. So who else would have done a better job, no one, not that year anyway!! Perhaps this year will see 4 people probably do well in the UK's, but how many years will that last? Leave it at two and give the English 2 more places as they have strength in depth. | ||

 Member 870, 552 posts | i think this Ringer is a complete Rasper to make a statement like he has,Martin Jones was spot on on.to even try and compare scotland to wales the athletes would have to do the same events and weights to get a true reflection. | ||
