[edit] Vote tally
This tally makes no sense. It shows a seven-all tie in the first round, which certainly wasn't the case (South Africa had to have less than the others, or there would have been a second ballot without elimination), and it disagrees with the only linked source still available (The New Zealand Herald). Can we get a citation, or an explanation by whomever wrote it the first time? 210.55.146.221 10:17, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:2011nzl225.gif
Image:2011nzl225.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Pools
Does anybody actually know that they're the groups the non-seeded teams are going in, or is it just a guess? I've heard that New Zealand (5th seed) with be in (4th seed) France's pool, 6th (Australia) with 3rd (Argentina), 7th with 2nd and 8th with 1st (South Africa) Mjefm (talk) 14:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
No, the draw for the pools will be ramdomised and based on the IRB rankings of qualified countries in November 2008. Theby the countries ranked 1 to 4 will be drawn to fill the first place in the pools, then those ranked 5 to 8 will be drawn to fill the second slot, and then 9 to 12. What happens if a team that has not yet qualified but ranked in the top 12 in November is unclear. Perhaps the draw would be delayed until the top 12's placeholders in the rankings qualification are certain. As of today the highest ranked teams yet to qualify are Samoa 12th, Georgia 14th, and Canada 15th. As such it is a distinct possibility that an unqualified team will be in the top twelve come November. Thecrystalcicero (talk) 21:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
