I always thought that you had to be in it(part of the 30 man squad) to get a RWC medal.

I thought that players that had been replaced because of injury, and was out the the squad, did not get one, other wise if the likes of Carter,Slade,Muliana,Skrela, if they became water boys and not play any part in the acutal game, then they would be entitled to a RWC Medal.

According to World Cup Director Kit McConnell...yes

It's for anyone involved at any time. The world cup isn't a one off game, its a tournament.

Jean de Williers got a medal in 2007, even though he only played one game.
