I've seen some conversations about it recently and thought I'd start a thread discussing who we thought were the best and worse teams at the WC.
Top 4 are ranked so it's straight forward in my opinion.
1. All Blacks
2. France
3. The Wallabies
4. Wales
Next 4 aren't too tough either.
5. Ireland (Before from 1/4 final they looked like one of the best three sides)
6. South Africa
7. Argentina
8. England (would have been 7th but the last performance was awful)
This is where it gets hard
9. Tonga (The only team to beat a top tier nation)
10. Samoa (Really put it up to Wales and S.A)
11. Scotland (Came close but under preformed throughout the pool)
12. Italy (Never challenged Ireland or Aus)
13. Canada (Played some great rugby at times and really came close against France)
14. Georgia (Gave all the teams but England a challenge)
15. USA (Played well vs Ireland)
16. Fiji (Big disappointment)
17. Japan (Only team not to lose all their matches and played great vs France)
18. Russia (Really went after tries)
19. Romania (Gave Scotland a challenge)
20. Namibia (Not a WC standard side yet)
