Lebanon being automatically qualified for the WC is frankly bullshit.

Lebanon being automatically qualified for the WC is frankly bullshit.

I have less of an issue with them automatically qualifying (they qualified the same way as Tonga, PNG & Fiji by making the Final 8) than the IRL's arbitrary decision to allow them to remain eligible for the RLWC, despite losing their full membership, yet take away the opportunity for others to qualify.

That said, it's typical of the IRL to just make it up as they go along.

Wales should be there over Lebanon. I know they didn’t qualify with the current setup, but they bring more to the table IMHO..

Is it 100% confirmed that its a stupid super pool tournament. 2 pools of 5 teams, 4 pool matches per team plus semis and a final please IRL!
