[QUOTE="Welshdragon2000, post: 841036, member: 74797"] I asked on the Georgian page where people think they will be in 10 years time and somebody suggested a new thread for this sort of thing so my question is of course, what do you think the rugby world rankings will look like 10 years from now? I'll go first and make my prediction (in order). 1. England (as a Welshman it pains me but they seem to have an outstanding youth system right now) 2. New Zealand 3. Australia 4. Ireland 5. South Africa 6. Argentina 7. Wales 8. Scotland 9. France 10. Georgia 11. Japan 12. Fiji 13. USA 14. Italy 15. Germany I'll be interested to see other people's suggestions. Ive really gone all ballsy and put Germany in there but they seem to have such excellent potential to thrive in the sport (especially if they can kick on this year and mount a creditable challenge for a World Cup place). The reason I've done top 15 as well is because the top 8 or 9 really do pick themselves. Feel free to put your top 20 in. I feel that the gap between 'tier 2' nations and 'tier 1' nations will close massively which is what the game really does need in my opinion - after all everyone does like an underdog that is able to compete at a high level.
