Interestingly, looking at the IRB rankings, you're now down to 6th...

1 (1) New Zealand 90.90

2 (2) Australia 88.58

3 (3) South Africa 85.78

4 (5) Ireland 84.30

5 (4) France 83.27

6 (6) England 82.81

7 (7) Wales 81.43

And should the "unthinkable" happen, and you lose another game (since the win in Sydney, you've lost 9 out of 14 games!), and Wales win in Scotland, then you'll be down to 7th....

I guess that the old adage "You're only as good as your last game" really should apply here!!
It will be my humble pleasure to feel like a Welshman or Scot has for decades!


WORLD CHAMPIONS = ENGLAND



There is no prize nor trophy for being top of the World rankings either.


It is better to be champions once then never at all, even if it was 38 years ago or 2 years ago! IMHO

PS England are playing cr@p at the moment.
