[QUOTE="Stade Rochelais, post: 1141334, member: 77552"] In 2010 they were ranked 9th before the 2011 World Cup and their famous semi-final against France lost on the socre of 8 to 9. In 2015 they were ranked 6th just a few weeks before the 2015 World Cup, they were painfully beaten by South Africa in the quarter-finals 23 to 19. You underestimate Wales too much, yet they have proven to show a different face during the Rugby World Cups. The IRB ranking has no impact and means absolutely nothing. In 2018 South Africa was ranked 6th in the IRB rankings, a year later they became 2019 world champion. [/QUOTE]
