As the curtain falls on 2024, the World Rugby rankings reveal a familiar yet evolving hierarchy. South Africa steadfastly holds the top position, closely pursued by Ireland, New Zealand, and France. The widening gap between these elite teams and the rest signifies a growing imbalance in the global rugby arena.
In a notable ascent, Argentina has emerged as a bright spot outside the top four, climbing to fifth place after a commendable performance in the Rugby Championship. This upward trajectory has allowed them to surpass England, who now finds themselves languishing in seventh. Meanwhile, Scotland has managed to maintain their sixth position despite navigating a challenging season.
The rise of Georgia, Japan, and Samoa threatens to further complicate Wales’ situation, and another disappointing Six Nations could exacerbate their plight.
