New World Rugby rankings if England hammer Italy and France topple Ireland in Six Nations

England could rise as high as third in the World Rugby rankings this weekend as they face Italy, having fallen below Ireland after last week's matches.

We have calculated that a win over Italy in the Six Nations combined with a narrow Irish defeat in Paris could result in Eddie Jones' side leapfrogging Ireland with France rising to fourth.

Currently England are fourth, and based on betting handicaps we calculate that they will gain no points with a 15 point win over Italy.
