The Springboks, who beat the Wallabies for the first time in Australia since 2013, remain in third place but added 1.42 rating points to their tally.<\/p>\n

The world champions are now on 87.89 points – a 1.48-point cushion over the All Blacks, who moved past England into fourth position after thumping Argentina 53-3 in Hamilton.<\/p>\n

Argentina, even in defeat, and Scotland have both improved their positions, moving up to sixth and seventh, as a result of the Wallabies’ two-position fall.<\/p>\n
