Power shift as Northern Hemisphere teams climb World Rugby rankings
By Online Editors
In the latest World Rugby rankings, the Northern Hemisphere nations have ascended into the top 5, taking the majority of spots after the June international series.
Ireland, Wales and England hold second, third and fourth as the Wallabies slide to fifth following their home series loss to Ireland. The Springboks are ranked sixth despite beating England 2-1 in South Africa.
Not surprisingly, the All Blacks still hold the number one ranking after dispatching France 3-0 at home. They have retained the top spot every year since 2009 and sit on 93.99 points. Ireland edge ever so closer to New Zealand, reaching 90-point barrier for the first time after their historic 2-1 win in Austraila.
Argentina's worrying slide continues, taking the tenth position behind a resurgent Fiji who sits just below France in ninth position.

I can’t believe Rugby Australia thought the NZRU would accept 1-12 split. I’m sure if the split was more even then the NZRU would’ve made it work.
It’s even worse when the NZRU relatively recently gave Rugby Australia a bigger cut of the Super Rugby broadcast.
Go to commentsI was introduced to crypto investment by an investor I met on Telegram. I liked the program and decided to join the investment platform. At the beginning, I invested and made profits which I continued doing until the website disappeared. I could not withdraw any funds before the incident happened but luckily a friend of mine that works with FBI introduced me to WALLET CONNECT and they came just in time and assisted me to recover all the money. They did a great job and they were very professional to work with. It's quite unbelievable but it happened. We got our money back through their system assistance.
