You really feel that both England and Ireland should be ranked higher than South Africa in rugby? Perhaps on current form Ireland is the better team than SA, but certainly not England and certainly not over the last year or two years.
Also South Africa is probably the only team that has beaten a full strength All Blacks team in the last couple of years.
In a head to head between Ireland and England id say Ireland would win it easily on current form. They are a super exciting team to watch these days, perhaps the most exciting apart from All Blacks.

The thing about SA as of late though is that they have been bad on the road, they're a team that does awesome at home and average on tour. They used to be far better and actually test the All Blacks for first place, now it seems as though the AB's are far ahead of them. Australia is even worse off, they have just fallen off the grid.

yeah i agree AB's are definitely far ahead. Nevermind the wins, just the brand of rugby that they play is far ahead of everyone else.
Still though i wouldnt put England ahead of SA...they havent been playing great either. And they have no wins over the AB's or Springboks in recent times. Atleast Ireland has a win over us and are playing exciting rugby.
