Italy's heavy loss at home to Wales has seen them fall behind Georgia in the latest rankings from World Rugby.

At the top of the tree it's as you were with New Zealand leading South Africa, Ireland, England and Wales. But it is in the places below the top 10 where there was movement following the weekend's games.

Italy's heavy loss coupled with Georgia's 15-6 win over Romania sees the Azzurri fall to 15th with Georgia moving up to 14th. Scotland remain in 10th but they are only narrowly ahead of Japan who are 0.09 ranking points behind in 11th.
