A final requires just 2 teams
A semifinal requires 4 teams (the 2 wining trams make it to the final)
A quarter final must deliver 4 teams to compete in the semi final and thus there need to be 8 teams competing - no more, no less.
This is true for ALL "finals" of two team sports, no matter how large the competition.
Wellington and Christchurch will host two quarter finals each.
The Rugby World Cup format is group-then-knockout: four pools of five teams compete, with the top two from each pool going through to the quarter finals, where it is knockout from then on.
