The two rating points awarded to South Africa and Australia’s 19-23 home defeat to Argentina have combined to send the Springboks up to fifth, on 83.35 points.

New Zealand’s first home defeat since they lost to the British and Irish Lions in July 2017 has seen their lead over Ireland at the top of the rankings cut to 2.40 points.

The Wallabies’ defeat to Los Pumas cost them two rating points, while Argentina stay in ninth place but are now just eight-hundredths of a point behind France.
