This ranking is a combination between sustained and combined performances that help teams keep their place in the world. There are times when a team's performance can fall out of place a few years before the Rugby World Cup.
Ireland
Ireland has moved up to No. 1 in the latest Rugby World Rankings. This was due in part to the 13-12 victory of the Irish side in the Test against the All Blacks last weekend. South Africa was dropped to third place after the defeat. Meanwhile, the All Blacks slipped from second to fourth.
Australia
Australia will travel to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in fourth place. New Zealand will continue to be the top side, but England and Tonga are now in second place. Troy Grant (IRL chairman) acknowledged the influence of the coronavirus panademic on rankings. He believes that the Wallabies are on an upward trajectory.
South Africa
If they beat the All Blacks on Sunday, the Springboks will rise two places to the third spot in the rugby world rankings. Otherwise, they will fall two places to fifth and sixth, respectively. South Africa will still be in third place despite a victory over the Springboks. They trail France by 0.60 points.
All Blacks
New Zealand's rugby team is now at an all-time low position in the World Rugby rankings. The All Blacks were beaten 26-10 by South Africa in their Rugby Championship opener on Saturday, losing three of four matches in a row. They were also defeated twice by Ireland. England has risen to fourth place in the rankings, while Scotland and Wales have fallen to eighth and ninth, respectively. Ireland and the Springboks are still the top two teams in the world, with France and England following.
Argentina
Argentina is no stranger in the world to success. Their win against the All Blacks in Christchurch at the Rugby Championship was a huge victory for Argentina's rugby and a major boost for the world rankings. Argentina won six penalties while Juan Martin Gonzalez scored the sole try. This move moved them up two spots to seventh in world rankings. New Zealand, however, dropped to fifth in the world rankings, their lowest ranking in over two decades.
