On a serious note, is there no playoff between the outgoing 4N side and the Euro-Champ winner? If there isn't I see the value of rotation but surely the 4N side should be given a chance to maintain their spot?
Well next year the 4N is going to be held in Aus and the winner of this years pacific cup will replace the 4th placed nation in 2009, which is likely to be France.
