@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.

Who’s talking about offering them a spot in the 6 n?

@Machpants having a Japanese side in super rugby is fine, so long as it is backed by Rugby Japan and it gets thier top players rather than the SW who were basically the red-headed step-child.
I think invite Japan and Fiji and then go home/away on alternate years, same format as 6N.
-
@taniwharugby Yeah happy with that too, but JRU are at fault, the way they didn;t do anything for SW, not SANZAAR
-
@jegga This Ugo Moyne piece has created discussions. Nothing formal yet but don't write it off entirely.
It is time to build on Japan’s success and start the Seven Nations | Ugo Monye
World Rugby is desperate to expand the sport and inviting the World Cup hosts into a long-established European competition would help do just that
