The Fiji Water Flying Fijians will head into the 2023 Rugby World Cup as the 7th ranked team following their historic 30-22 win over England at Twickenham Stadium yesterday.

This is the best ever ranking the Flying Fijians have ever had.

The Flying Fijians climbed up to 7th place straight after the win but the Wallabies had a chance to demote the Flying Fijians however, France denied them the chance to do so after demolishing them 41-17 earlier this morning.

Some results over the weekend have also seen a few changes to the rankings as the All Blacks slipped to 4th place after losing 35-7 to the Springboks who have moved up to 2nd place.

Ireland’s narrow 17-12 win over Samoa saw them maintain their number 1 spot.

The Flying Fijians will now head to France to prepare for the Rugby World Cup, which kicks off next Saturday.

They will take on Wales in their first match on Monday, 11th September at 7am.
