Talk:2023 Rugby World Cup/Archive 1

Irish bid
No stadium is mentioned for the bronze final, was this an oversight by the IRFU? Sheila1988 (talk) 22:33, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Automatic Qualification
Fiji has not (yet) qualified for the 2023 Rugby World Cup. In the (admittedly unlikely) event that Uruguay beats Wales in the final pool game for both teams, then Uruguay would finish third in Pool D, and receive the automatic qualification.172.92.248.207 (talk) 10:27, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

IRB Rankings
The existing table has IRB rankings for each national team. Should that be updated before the RWC? During the tournament? Or locked at some point? S C Cheese (talk) 14:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I guess the only relevant rankings are the ones that determined the seedings for the tournament and the last rankings before the tournament begins? – PeeJay 15:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

That sounds right for when the tournament starts. Any more suggestions for what should happen before then? S C Cheese (talk) 23:21, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Original table creator (at 2019) here. Yes, it's meant to be updated one time right before the RWC begins. Also, maybe just replace "top 3 in pool 2019" with just "Automatic"? I think it looks better on the eye. - Alexei, 7:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Georgia is not Europe 1
Georgia is Europe 1 or 2, as Spain still can have 36 points and Georgia remains with 35. 90.173.5.127 (talk) 21:39, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

There seem to be links being edited onto the page for VPN affiliates so watch out for that. Blake5200 (talk) 10:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Have Wales won Pool C?
Seems like Fiji can get to 15 points, and Wales can get stuck on 14 (albeit unlikely) through losing to Georgia and getting no bonus points. Doesn’t seem like they should be listed in the relevant QF slot yet. 89.205.142.23 (talk) 21:53, 1 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Correct, Wales have not yet won Pool C. It's almost certain since most people can't see Wales failing to beat Georgia (or at least gaining two bonus points), but not mathematically 100% yet. – PeeJay 12:06, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
