For a bloke whose idea of a good time is having a nice cup of tea in
the shed whilst watching shellac dry, you're very impatient...

The rankings aren't updated every day, so don't get too carried away with
any fake moon landing or 9/11 truth conspiracies

One trend I've noticed developing is that every RWC winner except Aus in 91
has lost their next game against NZ.

Who cares. The IRB world rankings are irrelevant.

Good point. We must be the new RSRU shield holders.
Now THERE'S an achievment worth achieving.

Bugger me, but you're right. Woohoo!

I take it you are aware that the IRB world rankings have been screwed by
doubling the points earned during the world cup, the competition LEAST
accurate at measuring ability.

See Ross Finlayson's or Myk's Cameron's excellent and accurate
international ratings.

Yeah but anyone with a fundamentl understanding of statistics can safely
ignore the RWC weightings.

Oh and by the way:

"New Zealand return to the number one spot in the latest IRB World
Rankings following their 19-8 defeat of world champions South Africa in
the opening Tri Nations 2008 fixture in Wellington on Saturday.This was
so important to some after the RWC."

Now NZ restored to it's rightful place in the world.
IRB - We can't have SA winning the RWC and NZ still being the top ranked
team? That would lessen the importance of the RWC. Ah I know - lets
double the points to falsely make it look as though SA is the best team
in the world (until they meet NZ again)

hahaha

This has been a public service announcement for those of you who don't know

Seriously Simon, as someone with an edumacation, can you offer a better
explanation?
I've tried and that's about the only theory that sticks. There is no
statistical justification for the weightings. It is pure marketing guff

IIRC the last RWC never had weightings, this RWC NZ was so far in front that
it would've been known that NZ would probably lose, and still be #1, so a
solution was needed.
Looks like a rat, smells like a rat...

It's a rat for sure, and weakens the idea of rankings. However, the tone of
the post is pure fanboy.
