World Rugby: France Men Move Up to Number One in World Ranking

France have moved up to number one in the men’s rugby union world rankings for the first time in their history.

The 2022 Grand Slam winners defeated Japan 20-15 to take top spot while New Zealand lost 23-12 to Ireland and world champions South Africa were upset 13-12 by Wales.

Ireland could have gone first, but Will Jordan’s late try reduced their winning margin below the required 16 points.

Ireland are now second, while the All Blacks drop to fourth, an all-time low.
