Fiji jump above England while South Africa move up two spots

Fiji have jumped above England in the world rankings after their stunning 30-22 victory at Twickenham.

Fiji have moved up to seventh with England dropping to eighth, making the Pacific Islanders the highest-ranked side in their Rugby World Cup pool. On the flipside, Wales will enter the World Cup as low as 10th in the world rankings while Australia, who got thumped 41-17 in Paris yesterday, have dropped to ninth place.


Ireland remain top of the rankings after their narrow win over Samoa, while South Africa have jumped to second after they annihilated New Zealand 35-7 at Twickenham on Friday night which resulted in the All Blacks dropping down to fourth.

World Cup hosts France have also risen to third after their comfortable victory over the Wallabies.
