Wales up to 2nd in world, England slides after defeat
Print Edition
WALES has climbed to second in the world rankings after last Saturday’s thrilling victory over England, while the Rugby World Cup host has slumped to sixth after the chastening Twickenham defeat.
Warren Gatland’s injury-hit Welsh stunned England by fighting back to win 28-25 with a converted Gareth Davies try and Dan Biggar penalty in the last 10 minutes and is at its highest position since the rankings began in 2003. England, now faced with a tough task to qualify from Pool A, dropped three places. New Zealand remains top of the pile, while Australia, which faces England on Saturday in a pivotal clash, drops from two to three. Six Nations champion Ireland is fourth and South Africa, which bounced back from its shock defeat against Japan to beat Samoa at the weekend, is at five. Scotland’s back-to-back wins over Japan and the United States have lifted Vern Cotter’s team three places to nine.
