GWC RUGBY RANKINGS CHANGE (29.11)

The final round of test matches during the November window has produced some dramatic changes to the World Table. The results are even more dramatic as they all but end the ranking tables for 2009. The ENC match Sunday between Andorra-Serbia will only have a minor affect on the Europe Table, whilst Hong Kong’s European tour will have minor, but significant in itself, changes to the world table.
