[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 611568, member: 57076"] oh don't linger over some posts too much man...they'll appear every once in a while. So anyways, everybody agrees Italy will be dead last I see. I have a feeling the final ranking will be quite different from the projections we're seeing here. We just never know...when have we ever predicted the exact right order, for the specific reasons we'd mentioned...? TRC is much easier to predict. It will basically always be NZ-SA-AUS-ARG at least for the next few years, and anything other than that would be an exception. [B]EDIT: [/B]just for trivia, do you guys know Italy is currently 13th right now ?!...they're actually below Tonga and Fiji, just one point better than Japan, and a whole 3 points below Argentina (10th) which is the next Tier 1 nation in the IRB rankings, itself having had a miserable year... While we're at it: England is a whole 5 points ahead of France as the leading 6N side. Looking at the rankings, this would be the order for the 6N hierarchy: England France Wales Ireland Scotland Italy [/QUOTE]
