The Springboks have fallen down from third to fourth place in the IRB World Rankings since their 9-11 loss to Australia in the quarter finals saw them bow out of the this year’s Rugby World Cup. France’s 9-8 victory over Wales that sees them qualifying for the final against New Zealand has launched the French team to third place. New Zealand’s 20-6 victory over the Wallabies have allowed the All Blacks to remain at number one.

1. New Zealand (last week: 1)
2. Australia (last week: 2)
