[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1139684, member: 39190"] You should take it for what it is and though Idon't believe it should ever be used as a definitive measure it is a handy indicator of form across time. I think it should be seen as an indicator that NZ are flying high right now taking recent results in mind. SA is ranked high still and them beating us by 15+ just about counts for double. That's the most recent result and hence their high points. You should also keep in mind that win or lose NZ will be mighty close to Ireland and IMO that's a fair enough indication of recent results. In the last 5 games, Ireland have beaten NZ 3 times too 2 but NZ have the higher scoring at 142 against 117 and both their wins were by 15+ whereas none of Ireland's were (highest being 11 points difference) which do have a big impact on the rankings. All in all its a close call between the two and the rankings indicate that so fair enough IMO. [/QUOTE]
