Advance of "The Lelos' in IRB Ranking

As a result of beating Romanian National Rugby Team at “Nations Cup” Georgian National Rugby Team added 0,337 points in rating of IRB and advanced with one place. Now “The Lelos” is on the 14th place and they are ahead Canadians which keep the 15th place wit 0.22 points.
Japanese National Rugby Team is on the 13th place and “The Lelos” has chance of overtaking Japan on Saturday.  On March 19 “The Lelos” plays against Russian National Rugby Team and in case of winning they will overtake Japan. In case of losing Georgian team will have regress.
It is remarkable that besides changes after Georgiana and Romanian teams there are not any changes in world’s 20 best teams.  Scotland beat Britain (22:16) but no change after this match.  France lost the most rating points, which lost with Italian team in Rome, but Ireland also lost in Cardiff and that’s why they still keep the fifth-sixth places, but their rating points reduced very much.  Wales which managed to beat Ireland 19:13 advanced. Historical victory did not cause advance of Italians in IRB rating.  But as a result of this match it approached to Fiji and Samoa very much and in case of winning in the decisive match of Six Nations Cup being in top ten is guaranteed.   
In a word March 19 is important day for ranking.
