New World Order  Empty New World Order

Post by maestegmafia Fri 22 Jun 2012, 9:12 pm

1st SA
2nd NZ
3rd Wales
4th Argentina
5th Ireland
6th France
7th England
8th Australia
9th Scotland
10th Samoa
11th Fiji
12th Italy

That's the results of the Under 20s Rugby World Cup just finished.

Will this be reflected in five years time in the IRB rankings.

Not too far off from the actual rankings, although Aus are a bit of an anomaly.

Poor year for the AB's, Austrailia & England.

"Will this be reflected in five years time in the IRB rankings"

Pretty sure this will not be the case. England have possibly been the 2nd best team in the world at U20 level over the last 4/5 years and we're still a fair way off being a top 3 side.

Hardly Ireland beat the Baby Boks,this was THE weakest Baby Blacks side ever.Even so they still reached the final ,England are consistently the best in the NH .

This was about one close match. Rankings are about consistency. Only one country comes close to fitting that description- at each and all forms of the game.
Good try though...

Well given at best 3 or 4 players from each side per JRWC year tend to get capped by the test side I doubt the JRWC has a big impact on future results.

Even up to U20 rugby, size and strength is so important... probably why AUS (the weakest front five in tier 1 rugby) do not match their senior squad i terms of results... and previously why the boks were constantly outmuscled by ENG & NZ at this level (until this year).

AUS in 5 years time will still have players like Beale, O'Connor, Genia, Tomane, Ioane and Cooper all under 30. And thats just their backline.

They will in all probability not drop out of the top 4.

The last welsh team to reach the 1/4s had Warburton, Tipuric, Halfpenny and JD2 in it, they have had a huge impact on Wales internationally. As well as Rhys Webb, Dan Biggar, Josh Turnball, Ryan Bevington and Scott Andrews.

chin I doubt that...How many make the full transition to the seniors? The top 2 will remain the same, the rest is up for grabs..

3 players from last years JWC appeared for the ABs today: Rettalick, Cane and Barrett. Not too many over the hill players for the ABs. Plenty of players coming through.

Well done to SA for a deserved victory yesterday. No doubt they look very strong but really we already knew that. Wales will be heartened by their results as will Ireland. But the world order is decided with the national squad. Players can bulk up and move up in skillset from junior rugby.

If it was a stream of players flowing effortlessly up through the grades to International level then you might begin to see links to U20 performances and what might be coming down the line at Senior International level.

But, of course, that doesn't happen. Career ending injuries cut into the list, unrecoverable fall-off in form cut into the list, the previous season's crop or the approaching crop add competiveness for places by the time the Senior positions are being handed out - and - most important of all - you could be unfortunate to be in totally the wrong cycle of senior team building. Senior players who have proven worth stick around and keep younger players out. It doesn't take long for all those factors to dilute the significance of one U20 side's one season of potential.

England finished second in 2008 ...hows that been working out for them since?

Whats that, they just dropped their wonderkid number 8 for a fat old kiwi you say?

Good luck with your new world order.

3/4s of the welsh team today have played at the junior rugby world cup.

That shows how well Wales are converting youthful promise into senior internationals.

Some of you sound like you're clutching at straws these rankings mean nothing in the grand scale of things, as it's how the players are brought through and developed by their own unions systems, this is where normal service will be resumed and the big 3 SH teams will come out on top with England, France, Argentina etc chasing the pack.

And 1 or 2 of the Welsh u20 side have been capped by the seniors already

We didn't pick our best players and rotated our squad every game trying to work out who we would use for the JRWC.

Seemed to work well. We came third and became the first team ever to beat the Junior ABs.

Top 2 are about right. Most u20 players just become also ran club players don't they? Some make it big, most don't.

Always an excuse with you Welsh.

When you have as easy a pool as Wales had it's hardly a surprise they got to the semi. Even if they hadn't beaten the ABs they were likely to rack up the bonus points needed.


Losing to Ireland in the 5th place playoff? Who cares? We won the important matches in the pool stages and 6 nations.

Surely the New World Order is shown in the latest IRB rankings? It's the future world order that hasn't happened yet.

Wales need to show they can consistently win in the U20s 6 nations with England,Ireland and France before they can claim to be one of the best U20s sides in the world.

The win against the All Blacks was an upset - these things happen.

The Baby Blacks showed up Wales defiencies in the semis they relied too much on the kick chase and NZ ripped them apart especially in the 2nd half though Ireland and Wales both lost less games this year than the ABs
