[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 737316, member: 72205"] TBH I'd remove the game from world rankings just because Gatland and Schmitt "colluded" before announcing teams and setting out intent to each other. Which makes it a friendly in my book and not a test-match. Sure warm up games (especially the earlier ones) are about finding who's going to be your replacements more than the starting line up but it strikes me as odd either way. I would never say take things from Football but it might be time to officially call things a friendly outside of competition, AI and Spring Tours and not count them towards stats, rankings or caps.
