WELLINGTON — International Rugby Board Chief Executive Brett Gosper says future World Cup draws will be fairer to smaller nations, eliminating the scheduling disparity highlighted at the 2011 tournament in New Zealand. Gosper told reporters in Wellington Monday that rugby's Tier One or major nations will have to accept more rigorous schedules at the 2015 World Cup in England to ensure all teams competed on even terms. Minor rugby nations complained after the 2011 World Cup that they faced taxing schedules. Samoa played four pool matches in 16 days while New Zealand, Australia, England and South Africa enjoyed at least a week's respite between matches. — AP
