World Rugby announced the
rankings of the Rugby Championships between New Zealand and Argentina, South
Africa and Australia, and the 2023 Rugby
World Cup qualifiers between Canada and the United States.
Ian Foster's team won't fall
from the second place if they lose, but if they win and the Springboks lose
more than 15 points, they could narrow the gap with South Africa to just 1.18
points.
However, if New Zealand
loses more than 15 points and South Africa beats Australia strongly, the
current gap from 4.18 points could widen to 7.18 points.
As for Argentina, they could
jump two places to fourth in the win surpassing current fourth-ranked Ireland
and fifth-ranked France. If Los Pumas beat the All Blacks by more than 15
points, May will take a record-breaking third-place finish.
The Australian team, which
is in seventh place, can move up one or two places with a win. Even if
Argentina wins, Ireland and France lose too. If the Wallabies beat the
Springboks by more than 15 points and Argentina fails to beat New Zealand,
they could even jump three places to fourth from Dave Rennie's men held last
time. This position is in June 2018.

As for the Rugby World Cup 2023 World Cup qualifiers, if Canada beats the Eagles by more than 15 points, they will be ranked higher than the United States - this result will take them to 19th place, while the United States will place 4th valleys. Dropped to a new low of 21st.
Since June 2016, there
rankings have not surpassed the United States and just a week ago and as of
February 2019, they are no longer in the top 20.
If the margin of failure is
narrow, the United States drops two places to 19th, and a draw puts them below
Romania.
