Comisserations sunny, New Zealand want you seeded 9th in 2011

The International Rugby Board (IRB) world rankings will be used to seed teams at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand.

The 12 automatic qualifiers from Rugby World Cup 2007 will be drawn into pools on December 1st 2008, in the hope of creating closer matches in 2011 according to Syd Millar, the Rugby World Cup Ltd chairman.

Defensively, Millar shirked all responsibility that it was indeed his preference to allocate the pools in 2008, but undue pressure from the host nation, New Zealand, who by coincidence will probably be top of the rankings by December, forced him to confirm the date.
