    the only way we stay number 1 is if this is a draw.
    Wales win, they become #1 (well done!)
    England win, and become #1
    England Vs Ireland next week is chance for both teams.

    I have long thought the ranking system to be designed against NZ-we get nothing for beating teams under us. We really should have over 100...

      I can barely understand the Welsh commentator. Like, 10%, listening carefully.

      Watching listening to the game on C4. Andrew Cotter is making the game watchable - great commentator

      Ickle Shane is a bit rubbish IMHO as a comments man. Better than Jonathan "space out wide" Davies, but that's not hard. English comments bloke is even worse.

                      Wales 13 - 6 England

                      Not a classic but we've gone from shithouse to penthouse.

                      England looked bereft.

                          England give the impression of giving lots of snappy accurate passes and then the receiver slows down...

                            We know we're not but we have the best record this season, albeit against different and weaker opposition than the ABs

                              If the All Blacks beat Tonga do they regain the Number One ranking?

                                @sparky probably not because some Nthn hem teams have an extra 2 games...and we get no points for beating Tonga...

                                Next week England/Ireland play-if Ireland win, they go #1, we to #3.
                                If England win, then it is Wales, NZ, Ireland, England.

                                Sept 1 is Wales Vs Ireland in Wales, and if Wales win we are #2, and if they lose, we are #1.

                                September 7 . Wales Vs Ireland again, in Dublin.

                                Assuming Wales win at home, and Ireland win at home, we will be back at number 1.
                                If Wales win twice they will be 91.00 to our 89.4
                                If Wales lose twice to Ireland, Ireland will be 89.83 to NZ 89.4
                                If both teams win away but lose at home Wales & NZ tie on 89.4

                                      Less than 2 minutes played, and Alivereti Raka scores his first try in the French jersey. Raka is France's Sevu Reece.

                                        Turned sky back on this week for the cricket. But here I am on Sunday morning watching Scotland v France in rugby, and a bit bored by it all. I need to keep my powder dry for RWC rugbyfest.

                                          Scotland were very poor. On their heels in defence and didn’t really attack the breakdown.

                                          French enigma continues.
