RayCee Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I know an article about this is floating around the general section, but as it belongs here and is now finalised for this year.... Anyway, the big mystery for me is how do teams get added and deleted from the list? Four were added and seven deleted. Some of those removed are active so it must be to do with governance. For more on it, just follow the link: https://rugbyl.blogspot.com/2019/11/2019-world-rankings-men.html https://rugbyl.blogspot.com/2019/11/2019-world-rankings-women.html My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said that they required X, Y and Z documents or they would lose their ranking. I can tell you, El Salvador received that email, sent in everything required and was still removed. The now IRL has confirmed it was an oversight on their behalf so the rankings are actually a bit different than this latest release. Will they correct it? Or will they wait until next round? My guess is the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
