Updated - World Rugby rankings
The updated World rankings have been released after the weekend’s Six Nations action and it’s bad news for the French and Scots.
Despite losing their coach and not playing over the weekend, South Africa have climbed to 5th thanks to Wales’ demolition job against Scotland, with the Scots falling to 7th.
France meanwhile, who lost against Ireland with the last kick of the game, have fallen to an all-time low of 10th, with Fiji the beneficiary.
Ireland have maintained their spot in third place and will be keen to close the gap with England ahead of their St. Patrick’s weekend showdown and potential Grand Slam decider in London.
The top two places still belong to New Zeland and England, with the two teams scheduled to play each other on the 10th November at Twickenham. The game will be streamed live across Asia on RugbyPass.com
