Starting the game with a close 7-10 half, the Boks came roaring back with five tries in the second, and the All Blacks couldn\u2019t put any points on the board in return. One of the heaviest defeats in All Blacks history, the Springboks gained 2.25 points from the match.<\/p>\n<p>Argentina and Australia have switched places in the rankings and now sit at No. 6 and No. 7, respectively. The two faced off in Sydney, where Argentina left victorious in a 28-26 win, causing the Wallabies to lose 1.56 points.<\/p>\n<p>The USA took home a win against Samoa in Denver. The Eagles started the second half leading 8-6, but Samoa regained the advantage. Samoa\u2019s five-point lead reinvigorated the Eagles, who immediately snapped back to eventually snag the 29-13 win. The USA moved up from No. 19 to No. 16, while Samoa dropped one place to No. 15.<\/p>\n<p>Other than South Africa and New Zealand\u2019s switch, the top five remain firm with No. 2 Ireland, No. 4 France and No. 5 England.<\/p>\n<p>World Rugby Rankings 2025 (As Of Sept. 15)South Africa (prev. 3) \u2013 91.62Ireland \u2013 89.83New Zealand (prev. 1) \u2013 89.10France \u2013 87.82England \u2013 87.64Argentina (prev. 7) \u2013 84.40Australia (prev. 6) \u2013 83.85Scotland \u2013 81.57Fiji \u2013 80.86Italy \u2013 77.77Georgia \u2013 74.69Wales \u2013 74.05Japan \u2013 73.92Spain (prev. 15) \u2013 69.12Samoa (prev. 14) \u2013 68.90USA (prev. 19) \u2013 67.40Uruguay \u2013 66.59Portugal \u2013 66.44Tonga (prev. 16) \u2013 66.35Chile \u2013 64.76Romania \u2013 62.67Belgium \u2013 61.20Hong Kong China \u2013 59.98Canada \u2013 59.52Zimbabwe \u2013 58.80How To Watch Rugby Matches In The United States On FloRugby<\/p>\n<p>Professional club rugby in Europe all streams on FloRugby and the FloSports app in the United States.
