The Fiji Water Flying Fijians have moved up to 9th place in the latest World Rugby Rankings following their 24-19 win over Wales in their second Autumn Series match this morning.
The win, which is Fiji’s only second win over Wales in 15 matches, was history in the making as it was their first-ever win in Cardiff and also their first win over Wales since 2007.
Meanwhile, the Springboks have moved to the top of the rankings following their 32-15 win over Scotland in Murrayfield this morning.
The Springboks had spent six weeks in second place after losing to Argentina in the penultimate round of The Rugby Championship, but Friday night’s defeat for Ireland at home to the All Blacks combined with the result in Edinburgh has restored them to number one.
Wait for it....🍾🇫🇯😂
