Brazil is far stronger than anyone and I would say on paper both Argentina and Colombia would defeat Mexico plus on a good day weaker teams like Jamaica could defeat Mexico. Our continent is quite weak outside of Canada/US which is why WorldRugby had that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, it should say if both qualify through the top 4, then the NA tournament won't be held. Realistically those are the only 2 with a chance of finishing in the top 2.

It's still a bit early for rugby since the tournaments will be held during the second half of the year. According to Ireland the European qualifier will be the Sevens Grand Prix. Rugby Africa will use the Africa Cup Sevens as their qualifier. Asia will have their own separate tournament ( Nov. 9 for women and Nov. 23-24 for men). Nothing else for other continents. World Rugby is one of the slower sports for giving information. AlFHg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,362 Posted April 21, 2019 #20 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Updated ranking after four of six rounds: New Zealand 72 points Canada 66 points United States 64 points Australia 56 points France 46 points Republic of Ireland 38 points Great Britain 37 points Russia 34 points Spain 16 points Fiji 13 points China 10 points (The All-Ireland team is attempting to qualify on behalf of the Republic of Ireland and England is attempting to qualify on behalf of the UK). New Zealand, Canada and the United States are all but assured to qualify. In fact all three of then can clinch qualification simply by finishing ahead of (or close enough to) France in Langford. France has a slim chance to sneak in over Australia, maybe hosting the final event will help them. Edited April 21, 2019 by NearPup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
