The Rugby World Cup is getting a major makeover, but not everyone is on board with the changes. Former New Zealand international, Justin Marshall, thinks that expanding the tournament to 24 teams is a bad move. He’s concerned that the gap between top-tier teams and the rest is getting wider, and adding more teams could lead to more one-sided games. Marshall believes that the recent World Cup in France was a huge success, and he’s worried that the changes could harm the tournament’s quality. He praised the French for their outstanding job in hosting the event and creating a vibrant atmosphere in the stadiums. Marshall also pointed out that the weather played a significant role in the style of play during the tournament. He’s not alone in his concerns, as many in the rugby world are worried about the impact of the expansion.
