The rugby ranking shows how strong each country's rugby teams are. It is a combination of sustained and combined performances that helps teams maintain their place in the world. Sometimes, a team can lose their place in the world just a few decades before the Rugby World Cup.
Ireland
Ireland have moved up one place to No. The latest Rugby World Rankings has Ireland at No. 1. This was due to the results of last weekend’s Test against All Blacks which was won 13-12 by the Irish. South Africa fell from second to third after the loss. Meanwhile, the All Blacks lost their second place to fourth.
Australia
Australia will enter the 2019 Rugby World Cup as fourth in the world. New Zealand will remain on top, but England and Tonga have leapfrogged them. Troy Grant, chairman of IRL, acknowledged that the coronavirus pandemic had influenced the rankings. He believes that the Wallabies are on an upward trajectory.
South Africa
They will be ranked third if the Springboks defeat the All Blacks in Sunday's next match. If they fall to sixth or fifth, they will be in the bottom half of the rugby world rankings. A victory over the Springboks will not help South Africa improve on third place, as they trail France by 0.60 rating points.
All Blacks
New Zealand's rugby team is now at an all-time low position in the World Rugby rankings. South Africa defeated the All Blacks 26-10 in their Rugby Championship opener. They lost three of the four matches consecutively. They were also defeated twice in Ireland. England has moved up to fourth in the rankings while Wales and Scotland dropped to ninth and eighth, respectively. Ireland and the Springboks are still the top two teams in the world, with France and England following.
Argentina
Argentina is no stranger success. The victory over the All Blacks in Friday's Rugby Championship in Christchurch was a major win for Argentina rugby and a boost in the world rankings. Argentina kicked six penalties and Juan Martin Gonzalez scored a try, moving them up two positions to seventh in the global rankings. New Zealand fell to fifth place in the world rankings after dropping to their lowest point for more than 20 years.
