    How come we didn't get any points for beating the Argies?

    Don't really understand rankinhs system. Are Ireland too far behind NZ to overtake them even if they win? Does each match get a specific points score in advance?
    I'm not 100% sure myself, but this line seems to be the important bit regarding Ireland:
    When calculating points exchanges, the home side is treated as though they are three rating points better than their current rating. This has the effect of 'handicapping' the home side as they will tend to pick up fewer points for winning and give away more points for losing. In this way, the advantage of playing at home is cancelled out.

    It's the most up to date one. Includes the results from today's other games.
    No change to Ireland/Argentina rankings might be a mistake.

    I want to be greater than oxygen. Bundee was a weak link in midfield, Henshaw wouldn't allow any gaps to appear.

    It's justiable in view of our subpar performance against Argentina and multiple handling errors.

    And NZ got points based on their show? I don't think that is the reason somehow.

    Reflective of the previous twelve months, Willy Mason hasn't released a single of substance in years.

    Trite nonsense, James Ryan was awarded man of the match. But don't let that interfere with your impotent ravings.

    even though the line out was shocking he should not have been awarded it, if ryan was brown would you want him dropped as well?????

    Your balls might drop some day, keep persisting with your feeble argument that race has anything to do with performance.

    I'm only getting to see it now, as I missed the last 10 minutes, but I thought that offside against Lawes was incredibly harsh. I'd love to know why he was offside - was it the NZ player who stepped forward or the English player on the deck he was judged against?

    What?

    *I feel I have walked into a room where a long running argument I am not aware of has been ongoing.

    The points are awarded for wins not the quality of performance...yay or nay?

    It depends on the quality of opposition.

    You really have no cop-on, only advocating you refrain from future debate as it is beyond your primitive grasp.
