If you've ever tried to get your head around how the World Rugby Rankings work, this might help.
Based on this detailed explanation on the World Rugby website, the following program emulates the method used for calculating rating points exchange; the basis of the official ranking system.
The same algorithm is used for building pick & go's ranking history and Super Rugby rankings.

Simply tick two teams (next to flags) in the rankings Quick Picker, then press "and Go!".
New buttons will appear next to each possible match outcome.
Click each of the 5 buttons to see that outcome reflected in the rankings.
Now choose another two teams (the next match) in the Quick Picker...and repeat...
