The IRB World Rankings are calculated using a 'Points Exchange' system, in which sides take points off each other based on the match result. Whatever one side gains, the other loses.

The exchanges are based on the match result, the relative strength of each team, and the margin of victory, and there is an allowance for home advantage.

Points exchanges are doubled during the World Cup Finals to recognise the unique importance of this event, but all other full international matches are treated the same, to be as fair as possible to countries playing a different mix of friendly and competitive matches across the world.

Any match that is not a full international between two member countries does not count at all.

All member countries have a rating, typically between 0 and 100. The top side in the world will normally have a rating above 90.

Where did rugby league?

Rugby League originated in the north of England. In 1886, the Rugby Football Union introduced strict amateur-only rules to combat the dominance of the game by working class northern clubs. In 1893, a proposal to pay players six shillings when they missed work due to playing commitments is rejected by the Rugby Union. In 1895, 21 rugby clubs from Lancashire and Yorkshire meet in Huddersfield and form the breakaway Northern Rugby Football Union. In 1897, the Northern Union abolishes line-outs and reduces goals to 2 points and tries to 3 points. In 1906, the number of players is reduced from 15 to 13, rucks and mauls are replaced by play-the-balls and rugby league is created as we know it today.

Who made Rugby League?

The League code was originally Union. When players decided to move south Uk to look for work union teams in the south were getting the choice of great players. The north suggested that they helped stem the flow south by paying players by the game. the RFU of the time refused to allow this and made a rule that the game was to remain armature. The northern clubs split from the union, made a "league" of their own, modified some of the rules and started the Rugby League code


When rugby union become professional?

When Rugby split and became Union (the original code) and league it was because northern clubs which were all union at the time found that their best players were being "encouraged" to move south of the UK (where Rugby started at the time) to seek work. Union was until 1995 a amateur game so no wages were paid for playing the game. In 1922 the drain on northern clubs became so bad that it demanded of the RFU that they pay players for each game. The union management of the time refused and the northern clubs set up the Rugby League and broke away from the RFU. in 1995 the IRFU decided to "open the game" and allow players to become professional and therefore receive payment for their services, they became professional

Is it better to be a union electrician or a non union?

Unions are always better; Union electricians, members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, make a lot more in wages and benefits than non-union electricians Source: http://www.join-a-union.com answer #2 ------------ Depends on the local market. In a large city there is more work for a union electrician on large construction projects. In a more suburban or rural area a union electrician may be out of work more than a non-union electrician since most projects are smaller and cost is a big issue. Some electrical contractors work in both worlds, their workers get paid union rates on prevailing wage projects and a lower rate on non prevailing wage projects. Most of these contractors are non-union since the union usually won't work for less money. So union members make more when they work but they may not work as much as a non-union experienced electrician depending on the local market and the contractor they work for.

Do you need different boots for rugby?

Though rugby is easiest to play in boots specifically made for rugby, they are not necessary. Soccer cleats work just fine. The only requirement for rugby boots is that they must not have a spike on the bottom of the toes.


What does it mean to be a good 'footballer' for a rugby player?

To clarify the term football refers back to when the game was in fact football. When football (soccer) and rugby went their different ways we saw the start of The Rugby Football Union which is what is still called today . The game still requires strong elements of kicking, foot work and running dexterity. In the terms used here a "good footballer" refers to the skills of the player generically.
