Rugby NewsSunday, 26 February 2017 at 05:43
Scotland kept their Six Nations title hopes alive with a stunning 29-13 win against Wales - but the victory also saw them move up to a highest ever world ranking.
The record-breaking new position, which will be announced by World Rugby next week, will see the men in blue move up to a record breaking 5th – beating their highest ever former position of 6th in 2010.
Prior to yesterday the Scots were in 8th, but thanks to beating higher placed Wales, they will leapfrog Rob Howley's men.

- 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
