Yep if you are not good enough to beat tier 2's like Fiji, Japan (read: Italy, Scotland), lets make sure we don't have a competition that includes them....pretty logical isn't it

He kept them in it almost singlehandedly.
Hot headed - but he controlled it. A lot to like about him. Seemed very big for a seven - i suppose i'm use to ours being 5'10

IS there a what-if calculator on the site?
i.e. IF japan beat RSA and Wobs lose - could Japan leapfrog Aus?
If they can go past RSA - which i doubt as it has been a massive tournament for them, I would definitely back them against Wales.

South Africa should stuff them, simply too fast and strong. But agree about them being better than Wales.
Their outside backs take that anti-rugby nonsense dished up by the wet weather boys and shove it up their backside. Box kick to Matsushima? I think not.
Their outside backs shit on ours from a great height.

Just got to watch this. How effing fun was this game!!! Just when red cards look like they might ruin everything along comes a game like this to remind you just how good international rugby can be. Nothing like having 60k+ screaming fans behind you to fire a team up for the last 20 minutes.
The Scots should have backed themselves for the entire match.

Wales would have to go past France for that to happen which is about 50/50 at this stage.
A France vs Japan semi would be an absolute shootout.

Not on the site but there's one here:

To answer your question:
Aus currently have 83.52 rating points, Japan have 82.08
If Japan beat SA they go to 84.81 (win by 1-15) or 86.18 (win by 15+)
If Aus lose to Eng they go to 82.44 (lose by 1-15) or 81.90 (lose by 15+)
So yes, if Japan win & Aus lose then Japan overtake Aus.

I have a friend in Japan on holiday at the moment. He reports that getting any merchandise for the Japanese team is virtually impossible unless you want to queue for multiples of hours and even then it's difficult to get anything.
Apparently similar with NZ gear as well and lots of stock for everyone else.

Ignoring the point that my post was wholly unimaginative, playing on very obvious stereotypes and the link is tenuous at best...
