💨 Abstract

After the July Tests, the Springboks remain atop the world rankings but with a reduced lead. The All Blacks gained 1.70 points, closing the gap to just 0.72 points. The Springboks' head-to-head matches were against lower-ranked teams (Italy and Georgia), preventing them from adding to their points. Meanwhile, Argentina dropped to seventh, and England climbed to fifth. The top 10 is completed by Australia, Scotland, Fiji, and Italy.
