I tried to do the same posting and the same weird thing happened. Everything was ruined again - so lets get to the top 9 rankings again:-

I did not lie about anything - there are only two NH teams in the top five.
2 Southern Hemisphere teams in the current top 5. (Not 2). This is the current stats. Where did you pull yours from?
Top 20 in the latest World Rugby rankings:

17. Spain 68.15
18. Romania 66.69
19. Uruguay 65.18

----------
So many of the stats you post on this website get proven wrong.
For most of the last 3-4 years, for the first time ever - Northern Hemisphere teams have had 3 out of 5 teams in the top 5. (That is the form).
Australia are useless at the moment, and have no forwards.
South Africa was unfortunate to be stuck with a quota coach for 2 seasons, before Rassie.
Oz forwards not as bad as you think Sharktwit!
Sorry
There was no newspaper report and I quoted from a website where the figures I provided was given. As a matter of fact I copied and pasted the schedule they gave,
It was on the following site:-
