While the All Blacks’ thrilling win against the Wallabies in Dunedin had no impact at the top of the IRB World Rankings, New Zealand and Australia remaining in first and fourth place respectively, lower down the list there is movement as a result of matches played in Europe at the weekend.

Czech Republic, Austria and Luxembourg are the biggest climbers in the last seven days after beating Sweden, Bulgaria and Norway in the latest round of the European Nations Cup.
