Rankings

Springboks will hold onto the number one ranking, no matter what happens against Ireland.
The gap at the top widened when England beat the Blacks.New Zealand could have closed it to 0.25 with a big win.
NZ will be unable to close the gap as they are against a low Wales.England moved above Ireland to third, but cannot go any higher next week if the ABs win v Wales.
Ireland dropped below England with no points against the Wallabies, but they can return to third v SA.
France cannot lose big to Australia. The Fiji win was not enough to completely secure their top-six place.
Argentina are in the six, and could go 4th with a big win over England (2.52).
Amazingly Australia can still make the six. A big win against France will give them huge points (2.56).
Scotland are out of the six, having a lower Tonga in their last Test.
Wales are guaranteed second seeds after the win over Japan.
Georgia can drop out of the 12 if they lose to Japan.

Geez, Canada have done a sneaky free fall in the last few years or were not as highly ranked as I thought.
......and Scotland are only two ahead of Wales. Imagine if the Leek eaters beat the sweatie socks in the six nations. @MiketheSnow won't shut up aboot it.

Canada have been on a slide since the early 90s.
Jamie Cudmore was always great fun to watch though
Enjoyed him joining the opposition huddle at, I think, the 2003 RWC.
