Rugby World Cup: in the event of victory against South Africa, France will (re)become the first nation in the world rankings

Before the World Cup, Ireland had been at the top of the ranking since July 2022. The XV of Clover had dethroned France, which remained in this position for a short week. Fabien Galthié's players had managed to climb to the top of the world hierarchy, for the first time in the history of French rugby.

Defeated by the All Blacks on Saturday evening (24-28), the Irish are no longer number one in the World Rugby rankings. The New Zealanders have regained their leadership position, but only temporarily. If the French XV win this evening against the South African world champions, they will seize the world throne.

This first place will undoubtedly not be the priority of the Blues this Sunday evening in Saint-Denis where the French will have to put up a fierce fight to eliminate the Springboks and reach the semi-finals of “their” World Cup, but it would reflect the magnificent work carried out by Fabien Galthié and his players for four years.
