Every team comes into this year's Rugby World Cup with different hopes, aspirations and expectations for what's to come over the next six weeks.
The World Rugby rankings offer some insight into which nations reign dominant in the global pecking order, but don't always offer clarity on who is actually enjoying the best form.
Heading into the sport's premier tournament, we've ranked the 20 World Cup participants according to form, taking into account squad depth and rotation, as well as the bare statistics of recent results.
To be clear, this isn't a ranking of simply who might beat who if they were to meet today, but more a discussion of each team's current strength and standing based on what's been seen of late.
Read on to see where your country sits in our power rankings, and be sure to let us know who you think should be higher or lower in the forum below.
