Rankings
-
Rankings are fine. Ireland have
- won back to back against Wales (who were #1)
- won last 3 against France
- won last 2 against Aussies
- won last game versus us
- won last game against South Africa
They got thrashed by England but have probably done enough to be number one. There's not much in it.

I'm fine with it. They will not respond well to the added pressure

This.
Big difference between
- in a one-off match who would most likely win, and
- over the course of a season who's had the best record.

@Blackheart What? Ozzie are down 6, so they lost the number one slot to seventh?

-
I didnt think these were updated until Monday normally?
-
@taniwharugby this website did them live, but yes official no ranking change until Monday 12 Dublin time
-
@Machpants Mmmm...your'e right...here's the link says they're down 6..which means they were 1st
. Maybe I'll send BillyB a quick email. -
@Blackheart said in IRB rankings:
NZ (same) 92.47
Eng (up 3) 89.74
Wales (down 2) 88.87How can we be the same (at 1) and Wales down 2 to 3rd...and Ireland down 4 to 5th, so according to that, us, Ireland, Wales & Aus were al 1st, SA were 9th..

Aussies below Japan in the rankings. Time to re-admit the Sunwolves to Super Rugby and let Japan join the Rugby Championships.
Sorry but bollocks on the sun wolves. They're mostly not Japanese qualified and the JRU wanted to keep them subsidized by the rest of SANZAAR for the foreseeable future. They can pay their own way or fuck off
-
It's called investment. Japan has 127 million people, is the world's third largest economy and has sheds lots of new Rugby fans. The country is going to bring a lot of revenue to Rugby.
Some talk of European Rugby offering Japan a spot in the Six Nations if SANZAAR turns up its nose.
