[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1163982, member: 60236"] 2007 I think people don't give enough respect to Argentina and think of them too much from a lens of today. In their run to the semi, they beat the hosts France, Ireland and Scotland. Scotland maybe wasn't that much of an achievement, but both Ireland and France were rated well above Argentina going into that. They had a massive scrum and some world class players. They also proceeded to beat France again in the 3rd place play-off. There was a reason they got their way into the TRC after that. Rankings as at August 27 2007 New Zealand 93.37 Australia 87.00 France 86.83 South Africa 85.36 Ireland 81.29 Argentina 80.71 England 78.83 Wales 76.33 Italy 75.07 Scotland 74.88 [/QUOTE]
