My rugby supporting ladder

Rugby is one of those games where I can happily get into watching a match even if my team aren't playing. For domestic I don't really have *a team* if I can make it I'll go and support Rotherham Titans at their home games. I have a friend who is a mad Tigers fan who is kind enough to take me along to matches and it is only polite to support them when he does, even when they play west country teams who I tend to support over other clubs but not with any great loyalty to any one. Internationals are a different matter watching 15 man test matches or sevens I have a scale of support as follows.
England
Wales
Scotland
Ireland
New Zealand
Fiji
Samoa
Italy
France
Kenya
Any other team
Argentina
South Africa
And the bottom of the list but never supported as they are the bottom of the list and below every other team is Australia.

Why are South Africa bottom of your list? (I'm not including Australia because that's a given).

I have no axe to grind.

I'm just interested.

It might be prejudice left over from apartheid, but they have a large touch of the same arrogance the Australians have.
