New World Rugby rankings as England and Wales fall and Spain close in on Italy

Wales and England have both fallen in the new World Rugby rankings table published today.

Wayne Pivac's side have slipped back below Scotland to eighth after the 13-9 defeat against France on Friday night and the Scots' win over Italy on Saturday.

England's record 32-15 home defeat to Ireland, albeit with 14 men for almost the entirety of the match, sees them drop to fifth, behind the Irish. France maintain third place but will overtake the All Blacks in second if they beat England and secure a Grand Slam next Saturday.
