    Unfortunately who is appointed to ref each QF will have as much of an impact as the players. There are certain refs I wouldn't want for the NZ-Ireland game.

    A loony ref might be our best hope.

    DC is undisputed. But Foxy was a cold blooded killer. Just destroyed teams with the way he ran his backline, and his tactical and goal kicking.

    Just letting you know I am still alive. Couldn't contribute to match discussions as my computer decided to upload three gig of data into the cloud and as fast broadband does not pass through the street I am staying in meant that it took something like five hours at rather low speed! This result leaves a much better taste in the mouth than I had expected given the lack of expectations going into the game.

    The remaining quarter finals in particular the South Africa v France game could change this. Should we get a good win over the Argies, we maybe able to cement that spot a little more. I would imagine that we are now fairly secure in the Top 3, in the worst case scenario.

    Will change it, whomever wins, France or SA will be number one. Abs will not be official number one due to it only being published weekly, Monday evening Dublin time I think. We can't be officially number 1 unless we win the final*

    France win
    1 (↑2) France 91.81 (+1.22)
    2 (↑4) New Zealand 90.91 (+3.22)
    3 (↓1) Ireland 90.57 (-3.22)
    4 (↓3) South Africa 88.48 (-1.22)

    SA win
    1 (↑3) South Africa 92.48 (+2.78)
    2 (↑4) New Zealand 90.91 (+3.22)
    3 (↓1) Ireland 90.57 (-3.22)
    4 (↓2) France 87.81 (-2.78)

    • It could be possible with a Fiji semi win I think, it gets complex fast

    Interestingly if Fiji win the RWC, there is a good chance they are nowhere near rank 1, as they are so far back, could even be world champs ranked 5th, and them knocking us so out would probably put Ireland bck as world number 1
