RR World Rankings – 16th February 2015

rrwc

The 2015 International Season is now into full swing with Round Two of the RBS Six Nations and the second matches in the first leg of the European Nations Cup 1A Division.

We also missed last week the Friendly match between Colombia and Ecuador , the victory that ensued to Colombia by 44pts to 18 had no effect on rating points.

Meanwhile In the Six Nations this weekend the results went to form but after England’s convincing win over Italy the remaining two fixtures were abit closer with Ireland sneeking home 18-11 over France while Wales , winners 26-23 held of a very determined Scottish side who look to be making some great strides this season with an eye on the Rugby World Cup later in the year .

The second matches in the European Nations Cup also took place with wins to Russia , bouncing back from their defeat last week against Spain , securing victory over Germany. Romania dominated the Spainish as Spain suffered their first loss , and Georgia got out of jail against the Portugese with a slim 20-15 victory.

The only movers this week were Germany who fell one place to 26th while Korea gained one place to 25th position on the back of Germany’s defeat to Russia , and cement Korea’s place as the second ranked Asian side on the RR World Rankings.

New Zealand still lead the way for the 67th consecutive week.
