Team Rankings - Full list & Overall ratings

[Hypnotised]

Cant believe those ratings... Hurricanes worse than the Cats? And Bulls?and reds? ratings seem to come from nowhere, if based on placings from last year why are the cats still higher than the canes?

Yeah i agree it utter crap we were in the semi's in 2003 and usually finish about 8th so how do we get a ranking of 55 lower that the cats that have had the wooden spoon for the last two years EA have done it again stupid f**ks do they even watch any S12

 

[mark_shaw]

at least it will b challangeing to beat the crap teams

 

[kaftka]

That is plain shocking. It would've been much more accurate if they went on IRB world rankings for the international teams. Can't say much for the Euro teams but the Super 12 the fricked up badly on that one.

But the fact is that oldies like Reihana, who could never cement a spot in the Abs, are the league's best players! i think that speaks volumes....Blowers this...Reihana that.....they'd get eaten for breakfast.

By who exactly? Martin Johnson got picked up in the tackle by Blowers yesterday, a feat not many have claimed to achieve. And if Reihana is so bad then why do a number of Kiwi fans seem deeply gutted by his decision to stay in England? Seeing as I don't watch much S12 rugby I don't go around slagging off the competition and it's players as a load of crap. You're opinion on these players seem slightly undermined by the fact that you say you don't watch European rugby. How does that work?

I completely agree man

It seems SH fans love taking pot shots at NH Rugby but really they don't even watch it so they are just hauling facts of their asses [/b]

Okay let me put a few things to sleep here......

1. I wasn't taking potshots at all - my initial post was purely about the Blues stats...no mention of NH AT ALL. I hassled the NH when a paranoid member of their support base invented the notion of me having a go.

Stupid.

2. How many NH players are we using?....cos everytime you talk up NH rugby you mention a whole lot of names that kind of remind me of some SH players I used to watch in our comps before they were past their international prime: Bond, Blowers, Reihana to name a few....Dowd etc etc...
You actually tripped over yourself by using the example of a feat of a SH player for talking up the NH....hilarious! lol!

3. Who wants Blowers and Reihana back?

I assume you must believe (in some illogical little nook that you call reality), that he would usurp McCaw? And that Reihana, well, he'd JUST HAVE to be better than those useless buggers like Howlett, Rokocoko, Sivivatu, Muliaina etc etc - who also happen to be in their mid-twenties or just out of their teens? Yeah, we're just aching to have these old fellaz back after dispatching France at home in front of a fervent crowd like a bunch of five year olds who accidently took a left instead of a right somewhere on the way to their sunday league game.

How's England going in that Six Nations comp anyway?.....I assume, having had a game at Twickenham that they've put someone away by now? ...Oh...

Seems not.

Fiji are a better side then Samoa, as proven here....

http://www.teivovo.com/results_internation...fiji_samoa.html

Scotland havn't beaten anybody of note for ages (unlike Argentina), so how can they be ranked ahead of the Argies??

thats exactly wat i was bout to say!

we always kick samoa's ass neilly everytime!

we beat em n beat em n beat them!

how could they be rated over fiji........seriously?

ahhhh the ratings dont really bother me cos wen u select the team the menu looks mad and every team u scroll through entices you to pick them........i think lox willl agree with me on this

so it doesnt really matter.......o and wen i play the game....the first and only person im going to delete from rugby 2005........is Joe Veitayaki!

u guys seen him play?

in the RWC 2003 i was a shamed to be a fijian

lol

Oh yeah...and also I have a 24 hour, 7 day a week, channel called "The Rugby Channel" which provides me with all the rugby that is played in the world. We have "matches of the week" from the comps you rate so highly and they are so mindlessly f***ing boring (for the most part) - that I usually don't last till half time.

How much Super 12 do you watch?

If none you can't talk.

If all the time, well, why the f*** are you watching? Envy maybe...?

To keep balance to my argument - which I felt just destroyed you guyz (NH)..hehe.

I would just like to say that in my form world XV there was one NH player and he WAS O'Driscoll. This was posted earlier.

Shame.

 

[mark_shaw]

gosh i love taking the ****...although im set to be heading there in the future to play, cant resist the cash sorry boys!!

 

[Los Lover]

Hope no confusion Mitch - that was directed northward.

 

[*MiTcH*]

yeh
nz is gng 2 wip the (not very good) british iles team iswell!!

the only thing that will make club ruga in nh better is 2 take half the ammount of teams out...that means crap players wont have a job.
Even though there will probally be some if that happend.

Cheifs 67

Wally's Super 12:

Brumbies 85
Crusaders 83
Blues 81
Stormers 79
Waratahs 78
Hurricanes 77
Reds 75
Bulls 75
Chiefs 74
Highlanders 73
Sharks 72
Cats 69

Some of the northern clubs would have to be lowered but that's about right in comparison to the teams up north.

 

[kinkon89]

i heard they were gonna delay the game cos they were gonna change sumfin in the game.....wudnt u think they'll change the rankings?

 

[187]

they better change the rankings!!! how can the Hurricanes hav such a low ranking with players like so'oialo, collins, umaga, smith & nonu!!! Tonga's ranking is a bit rude too... but then again they didnt win a single game at the RWC

 

[Los Lover]

Just change the friggin' stats for the hurricanes (whose stats are an abject disgrace I agree)....

we want this game on time.

 

[kinkon89]

btw i dont really think the rankings will pay a big part wen your playing the game!

only wen u play world cup youll be seeing fiji lose to samoa or sumfn like that
