Fiji drops to 10th place in World Rugby Men’s Rankings after loss to Scotland
The Fiji Water Flying Fijians have dropped to 10th place in the latest World Rugby Men’s Rankings after their record 57-17 defeat to hosts Scotland in their first test of the November tour over the weekend.
It was the most points Fiji have conceded and the largest margin of defeat in 10 test meetings with Scotland, for whom Darcy Graham marked his return to the international arena with four tries.
Scotland picked up 0.58 points for the win, their first at Murrayfield since they retained the Calcutta Cup, and remain in seventh but with less than a point now between themselves and Argentina.
The loss of 0.58 points in exchange was enough for Fiji’s rating to dip below Australia’s.
The Flying Fijians will play Wales at Millennium Stadium at 1.40am Monday in their second test of the November tour.
