Why are ireland so low in the rugby world rankings?

Question

I dont understand why ireland are so underestimated as a team that dont have a chance at winning the world cup? Do u think 5h in the world rankings is fair? You cant forget that weve hammered austrailia and south afria earlier on in the year or do people think that was just a flook please answer

Answer 1

Ireland is very good, but who would you drop out of the top 4? Australia and SA have turned it around over the past few months so the fact the Ireland hammered them may have been forgotten.

Answer 2

Those two defeats to Argentina didn't help their position.

Answer 3

cause they a not playing well, I mean they lost to portugal- thats embarresing man HOWEVER, the might boks are top dogs and all blacks, world cup prepare for one hellova final

NZ vs SA
