South Africa again topples All Blacks to become No.1 team on the rankings

South Africa has again toppled the All Blacks to become the number one team on the World Rugby rankings.

The Springboks now hold a 1.8-point lead at the top.

But with points on the line in Paris, when France take on the All Blacks and in London when England and South Africa re-enact the Rugby World Cup 2019 final, the situation could change again this weekend.

England are up to third after a 32-15 win over an Australian side that has come out on the wrong side of Eddie Jones’ men in their last eight outings.

Australia’s defeat and Ireland’s magnificent win over the All Blacks puts the Irish up to fourth and the Wallabies down to fifth.

France remains sixth.

The Vodafone Flying Fijians remain 11th on the rankings.

The Flying Fijians will face Georgia at 2.30am this Sunday.

In other matches on Sunday, England will play South Africa at 2.15am, Wales will face Australia at 4.30am, the All Blacks will take on France at 9am while Ireland will play Argentina at 1.15am.
