Should the Rugby World Cup be expanded ? (www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk)

Its an older article but I think it does a good job of discussing the topic I wish to discuss. Do you think the World Rugby should expand the number of countries? From what I read this wouldn't take affect until the 2031 Rugby World Cup being hosted in the United States. The first ever tournament to be held in the Americas. What are your thoughts?

I enjoyed the qualifying tournament from the last cricket T20 world cup. It rolled right into the main comp, so it felt part of it. More weaker teams can drink in the atmosphere of a RWC and the best (and most on form) go through to the main tournament.

Edit: it would also be cool if there was a plate tournament like in 7s for the pool losers. Might be too costly, but maybe not.
