IC 2008 - Hands up for Division 1?

Who do you think would be the two teams dropped from the top 10 if they decide on an 8 team division. I think they should do a 10-6 split to avoid the two "dropped" teams dominating the development division.

Regarding divisions names, no, I don't expect it would be called Developmental Division, but something other than Division 2 would be nice - but maybe it's the practical outcome.

Regarding which 2 teams could hypothetically be dropped from Div 1, based on previous results, Japan may be happy to go down, and Samoa will be heavily dependent on which players in Australia can squeeze through on the eligibility rules or get exceptions.

I guess no matter what the split, there will always be a spread of ability, so I don't think organisers should worry too much about 1 or 2 teams dominating a division, it's kind of inevitable anyway. Mind you, the Samoan lads are very physical too, which could be more of a problem for the very newest teams. Without 2 drop downs, you could still see say Nauru dominate, depending on whether they get there and how well the game is currently going on the island.

If I had to nominate, I reckon the two weakest in the "premier" list at the
moment would be Japan and South Africa. They'd probably be at the stronger
end of the development bracket, but I don't reckon they'd be far ahead of
Sweden or Tonga.

That's a big call regarding South Africa.
