Removal of World Rankings

The current article has the world rankings in brackets next to the nations. The citation accompanying it states "Pre-tournament world ranking in parentheses" and references World Rugby Ranking|url=http://www.worldrugby.org/rankings/mru%7Cwebsite=World Rugby|accessdate=5 February 2018. However, these rankings change regularly. I will remove these rankings because they add nothing to the article. For instance the citation for cited as been update on 5 February 2018 where as now it is the 28 February 2018 all the rankings except Georgia have changed. Romania was 15 and is now 16, Spain was 20 and is now 19, Russia was 19 and is now 20, Germany was 27 and is now 25 and Belgium was 29 and is now 28. Also the link the article directs to shows the updated world rankings and not the rankings pre-tournament as it states. Finally none of the other tournaments have (2017–18 Rugby Europe Trophy, 2017–18 Rugby Europe Conference, 2018 Six Nations Championship) have world rankings listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.1.202.203 (talk) 20:52, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
