Historic weekend for Scotland in Women's Rankings

As another tangible sign of the continued progress made under long-standing head coach Bryan Easson and captain Rachel Malcolm, Scotland Women are now up to a record high of fifth in the World Rugby Women’s Rankings.

While Scotland’s 59-15 win over Fiji in the first-ever meeting between the teams at Hive Stadium on Saturday didn’t lead to an increase in their rating, Easson’s team have moved above Australia courtesy of the Wallaroos’ shock 36-10 defeat at the hands of Ireland in Belfast.

Australia conceded more points than ever before in losing to Ireland and that has led to their rating dropping to 76.28 points – half a point fewer than the Scots, who were outside of the top 10 as recently as April 2023.

      Scotland’s rise to fifth comes on the eve of WXV 2 title defence in Cape Town, where they will look to pick up further points in the rankings. However, it is unlikely that they will make serious inroads into the gap between themselves and France in fourth as they are separated by 10.5 points.

      Last year’s WXV 3 champions Ireland are also on the up, gaining two places at the expense of USA and Italy. Ireland are still some way short of their best-ever position fourth but seventh place is the highest they’ve been since August 2022.

      Meanwhile, USA drop to eighth and Italy to ninth. Italy’s reward for beating Japan 24-8 in Piacenza was only 0.09 points, which wasn’t enough for them to consolidate their position.

      England remain out in front, having preserved their 7.58-point lead over New Zealand with a 24-12 win against the Black Ferns at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham.

      Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
