CONFIRMED: Springboks can go back to No 1 in rugby rankings

The Springboks can reclaim No 1 spot in the world rugby rankings if certain results go in their favour during a jampacked weekend of action.

The wait is nearly over for the Springboks to be back in action, but fans will need to bide their time until Sunday night as South Africa face Scotland in the last game of an action-packed weekend of international rugby.

If South Africa draw then New Zealand must beat Ireland by more than 15 points to claim top spot and effectively swap places with Ireland. Los Pumas will jump two places to fourth if they beat Italy and France are beaten on home soil by Japan, regardless of what England do against Australia. The Azzurri could beat Los Pumas and still fall a place if Australia beat England at Allianz Stadium.
