Wales' short reign at the top of the World Rugby Men's Rankings is over after their 11-match winning home run came to an end with Saturday's 22-17 defeat to Ireland at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
With one-and-a-half rating points deducted from their total because of the loss, Wales now find themselves down in fourth position in the rankings with New Zealand, Ireland and England the sides to profit.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
