Final round for SRP! While we know the top six, the exact lineup for the qualifying finals is still unknown.
Iāve written a tool that lets you simulate and visualise the ladder permutations. Click for details (and link to the browser-based tool).

We're past the halfway point in Super Rugby Pacific, so which teams are "Livin' on a prayer"?
Start the week with a quick look at how teams stack up compared to last yearās results for the same fixtures.

Super Rugby is about to start, and the schedule can hide team strength early on, so here is a quick guide about how not to get too excited (or too worried)

My plan is to have an analysis of the pools within a few minutes of the draw. All the code is ready. I just need them to start the draw! #RWC2027Draw

I have looked at Australiaās path to a top seed for the RWC draw. If they canāt win all games, how many are enough?

Australia dropped to 7th, but looking at a single week does not give you the whole picture. You need to look at all possible results, so it is time to update the rankings simulations. Everything is still to play for, not just for the TRC.

I have updated my simulation tool to include the two results from the weekend. Great win for the Wallabies, but consistency will be key to get a top-6 seeding for the World Cup draw. It is still far from certain: open.substack.com/pub/dimitrā¦

May be of interest, @kinson88 @seanny202 @MorganTurinui, in case you want to put numbers on why SRP is so good this year.

Week 1 for Super Rugby! Here's the spreadsheet I've made to keep track of the season and help with the new finals system: docs.google.com/spreadsheetsā¦ (you'll need to copy it to your own Google account to edit it). I'll update it as the season progresses. (inspired by @RugbyKino)
