Have a look at what we were saying about RSA in late 2018, early 2019.

Have a look at what we were saying about RSA in late 2018, early 2019.

Not a whole lot of looking at the previous 10 - 15 years to predict the next. Going forward for the forseeable, I'd guess:

Constantly in the top 4 - France and SA;
Constantly in the top 6 - Ireland and NZ;
Constantly top 8 with trips to the top 3 and possibly higher - England and Argentina
Constantly top 10 with potential to hit the 4-5 spots - Scotland and Oz; and
Wales and Italy should regularly be above Georgia and Fiji, both just have way more opportunities to produce players, attract eligible foreign talent and play enough high quality rugby to keep ahead.

After that I, admittedly, don't know enough, I'd guess that maybe the USA can break in to the top 12 with a world cup buzz. Can't see anyone else doing it in the next 10 years without those sides regressing.
