@Rugger-Quizzes assuming the English beat the Scots at Twickers (doesnt look like the Scots have won there at all in the 6N* and not since 1983 in the 5N) the Dublin game will be to make a new win record wont it?
*Maybe 2017 is the year for the Scots!! What you say @MN5

Uh, yeah, that's right we were all in complete agreement that Cyprus have the record, England have a ways to go yet.

Consecutive win record streak : 18 - New Zealand
Consecutive win record streak*: 24 - Cyprus- that don't include all teams ranked above you
England, you are currently chasing Cyprus' record.

@Frye as the #1 team in the world, we can never have a streak on your condition (•that don't include all teams ranked above you)
I'm ok with them having the 'tiered' record.
Were plenty of games in our 18 where we didn't play that well and scraped through.

@taniwharugby we're trying to bait the English blokes on here. No bites yet but I was hoping for something this evening.

@No-Quarter ah my bad, the English record will be meaningless, for 1 they didn't even play NZ, how can you claim a record if you haven't beat the best, that's akin to the Saffas winning the 2007 RWC without playing us (2 birds)
That's without even going down the route the Poms record wont count because of the tier caveat!

I think that if the average pom learned one thing from last Sunday it's that sometimes not engaging in the manner expected can thwart an opponent's tactics...

Nah, Would personally be far more disappointed at the impact on a potential Grand Slam/6N Championship if we lost to Scotland or Ireland. Record is nice, but really doesn't mean a lot.

I think the English current run of 16 all have been played only against Tier 1 teams by a Tier 1 team.
A true Tier 1 record!

That would be 17 on the trot if included. PH was being a little disingenuous.

@Catogrande I had a suspicion that might be the case, after posting and started to check... but then couldn't be arsed.
A sign of true laziness, when one decides to allow one's self to look like a fucking idiot, rather than quick fact-checking, or even just deleting post. -

Au contraire. I wasn't including Uruguay deliberately. They don't count as a proper Tier One test. So it's 16 on the trot for me. Which is pretty impressive. Has another tier one team done that before?

Giving them grief more like. Prood of the boys for being ahead of Wales and the Argies too.
When did these rankings start? After a grand slam in 1990 and a semi final finish in the 1991 WC the mighty Scots woulda been ranked at least 4th ? ( helped by S.A. not being around to be fair )

The actual rankings weren't around then but this site http://www.lassen.co.nz/pickandgo.php has reverse engineered them and you'll be pleased to know that Scotland reached the giddy heights of 2nd in 1990
