GWC AND WORLD RUGBY RANKING TABLES
GWC AND
WORLD RUGBY RANKING TABLES EXPLAINED
Main Points
1. The GWC Rankings and World Rugby Rankings are completely different
systems.
2. World
Rugby only ranks member nations. GWC ranks all nations.
3. World Rugby ranks all member nations in one list. GWC ranks nations in
continental
groups, except the ‘World’ group.
Nations can belong to both the ‘World’ group or a
continental group.
4. GWC drops a nation from any list if it does not participate in test rugby in
any one Calendar year. .
5. World Rugby has their own system of
determining rankings. GWC basically operates like
a tennis ladder. If you defeat an
opponent, you go one above that opponent on the ladder.
If you draw the match the lower ranked
nation goes just below the higher ranked nation.
If you lose you stay where you are.
6. GWC World ranking table can be more subjective. Any nation that participates
in cross
continental test rugby automatically
goes to the World Table. Nations that participate i
the following Tier 1/2 competitions
are automatically included in the World table
(a) 6 Nations International
Championship
(b) Rugby Europe Championship
(c) The Rugby Championship
(d) Asia Rugby Championship
(e) Africa Cup
(f) Pacific Nations Cup
Plus-USA, Canada and Argentina from the Americas

COUNTRY
DATA
This section hopes to cover each
nation’s international rugby stats year-by-year.
This is a work in progress as I
gradually upload the data for each nation. Click on the nation below and see
where I’m up to.
If you can contribute to this data either by noticing errors or by adding to
what I don’t have then contact me at rugint@bigpond.net.au
A special thanks to Stuart Farmer whose data on scrum.com for the main nations
is, in most cases, my comparison.

TIER 2-3 NATIONS TEST RUGBY POINT-SCORING DATA
Compiled by Giles Etienne
Updated to end of December 2022
Since
Giles’ first point-scoring data charts were introduced in November 2020 he has
worked on updating his records. These I will gradually revise as time permits.
His original introduction is below.
‘I started to list the players who have scored in the 3rd unions opposing matches for more than 20 years now thanks to
the emergence of internet.
But I had begun to be interested in statistics in rugby for much longer,
actually as far back as I can remember. I must say
that I do not know where it comes from, compiling the statistics in sport is
not really in the French mentality, rather Anglo-Saxon. At the time (I was a
teenager), I started making sheets about the players of the XV of France;
today, I was able to develop the complete dictionary of all French
internationals, with as complete data as possible and a photo of each one of
them.
Then, gradually, I became interested in foreign players (I mean
non-French!), first the All-Blacks, the British and other 1st unions,
then the 2nd unions, and finally the 3rd unions, as the number of countries
involved in test-matches increased.
Data below are
from a systematic compilation of all the match sheets and reports I have
gathered since 2001 (but quite complete only from 2011), plus various books,
booklets, annuals and Unions web pages. I would like here to pay tribute for the work done by the continental associations and World
Rugby to publish the match sheets; Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania; Americas
(mostly South America) are still far behind for that. And many thanks also to
everyone around the world who has the patience and kindness to respond to my
requests.
These data are indicative (a lot of match sheets were incomplete or
aberrant, and there are quite often discrepancies between newspapers reports on
the same match), but fairly representative I think so.
For the players of the years 2000~2010, the tries and
point scored is probably by default, due to lack of data, except for some
countries that at some times have published (website, booklets) complete
historical statistics (such as Sweden, Malta, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, etc.
...).’
