GWC AND WORLD RUGBY RANKINGS
Note: World Rugby, unlike the GWC Rankings, does not exclude a nation
if it does not participate in
international
test rugby in any one year. The exclusions are in line with GWC Rankings policy
and
is not endorsed by World Rugby.

Table-Updated

GWC Rankings Latest
16/06-Ireland's
win over Australia sees them back into the No.1 position in the World, pushing
the Aussie's back into 2nd. Italy's win over Japan puts them into 9th place,
pushing Japan and Argentina to 10th and 11th respectively. Russia's win over
Canada sees them leap frog into 21st, with Canada now 22nd.
Note: For
New Zealand to gain the No.1 spot they will have to rely on Australia defeating
Ireland in the 3rd test. This will mean that NZ will have the opportunity to
play Australia in July and if they win then they overtake Australia. If
Australia loses to Ireland again New Zealand will have to wait until November
to strike.
World Rugby Rankings Next Updated Monday 2 July
13/06-Australia’s
win over Ireland sees them move to 3rd place with England dropping
to 4th. Argentina’s loss to Wales sees them drop to 10th
with Fiji rising to 9th.
