It's also a really bad format if you have to smash teams to make Grand Final. NZ smashed teams at IC14 but on this current format, the winners PNG would not have made final. However PNG easily beat NZ in 2014 semi.

Smashing teams puts management under pressure to play their best players and the fringe players lose out even for what are meant to be easier games such as Ire v Fra. It's a very long and expensive journey to the IC so it's only fair players get a reasonable amount of game time, it's an amateur comp after all.
