Following victories for the Springboks, Ireland, All Blacks, England and Italy in the Autumn Nations Series, here\u2019s the latest World Rugby rankings.<\/b><\/p>\n
There is still an opportunity for the rankings to change with Wales and Argentina facing off at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, but there were significant movements from Saturday\u2019s action.<\/p>\n
Rankings update<\/p>\n
Notably, the Springboks<\/a> increased their lead at the top of the rankings following an impressive 32-17 victory over France<\/a> in Saint-Denis.<\/p>\n The win over Les Bleus earned Rassie Erasmus\u2019 side a 0.86 rating point bump, which means that they are now 1.71 points clear of second-placed New Zealand<\/a> \u2013 South Africa extending their advantage by half a point.<\/p>\n This despite the fact that the All Blacks earned 0.36 rating points for their clutch 25-17 win over Scotland at Murrayfield, thanks largely to the heroics of replacement back Damian McKenzie.<\/p>\n New Zealand hold onto second position, for now, while Scotland retains eighth place, where they will remain regardless of the clash between Wales and Argentina.<\/p>\n Springboks player ratings: Rassie\u2019s Bomb Squad masterstroke \u2018blows\u2019 France away as Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu produces on the \u2018biggest stage\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, England earned just 0.02 rating points for their 38-18 win over Fiji. Steve Borthwick\u2019s side remain in fourth place but have cut Ireland\u2019s lead in third down to 0.79.<\/p>\n Ireland earned no rating points from their 31-point victory over Japan due to the 15.60 rating points between the sides before home weighting was factored in.<\/p>\n The same is true for Georgia, who claimed a 43-30 win over the USA in the earlier kick-off on Saturday. The Eagles also didn\u2019t lose any rating points.<\/p>\n Also for Samoa, who hammered Brazil 48-5 in their opening Rugby World Cup 2027 final qualification tournament fixture, due to the 14.84 rating points difference between the sides.<\/p>\n Finally, Uruguay moved up four places into 15th position, with USA, Samoa, Chile and Tonga going down one each, following their 8-26 success over Portugal.<\/p>\n
