    So, there is a risk (or chance, depending on perspective?) that both hosts

    The earlier the hosts get knocked out the better. It makes it fairer. Nobody's got home advantage then.

    Yeah they could both be struggling to get through, especially Australia, up against the Olympic Champions.

    Nah, I'd rather the hosts have a deep run, improves the atmosphere everywhere.
