The more I think about the new playoff & lucky loser concept the more I think it doesn't suck.
It's 100 times better than the current format of 8 out of 12 make the playoffs.
Also, others have said if the #1 seed loses to #6 then they are still guaranteed to get through, so why wouldn't they put out a weakened team? Well if #1 did lose then they drop to a lower seed # and could therefore lose home advantage if they make end up making the final.
The higher up the table you finish the more chance you get to get a second chance.
At first I thought it was a terrible concept, but I'm coming around to it.
They probably should have given it a better name though, like 2nd chance.

1.44 David Kirl to Kirwan, the same move as the rwc final the following year against france again. Almost identical, expect JK did score it in the final.
