Italy's 18-15 win over Scotland in rain-sodden Rome has resulted in the teams swapping places in the World Rugby Men's Rankings.
World Rugby Chair Brett Robinson was stopped by a couple of Zimbabwe supporters before flying to Sydney on Tuesday.
Within four days of the tournament kicking off in Perth on October 1st, all 24 participating nations will have taken to the field.

Brilliant display. I enjoy the fact how most of the Springboks are able to read the game. Rassie has done a fantastic job.
I’m going to cry when Kwagga retires.
Fuckenhell. Still 10 more minutes.
Go Zac!
South Africa will win
I’d be quite surprised if this isn’t a full strength team named by Rassie. The boys need a good start and the French Game is going to be huge. The boks ALWAYS look rusty after a break.

I feel like the Italy and Wales tests will be heavy rotation tests with a number of players with low cap counts this year getting a run there.
Italy a rest week for the first team before they take on Ireland.
I’d really like to see more of Ethan Hooker but he can’t displace KLA on the wing. And he may just lose out to Esterhuizen who offers the 5,5 / 2,5 split.
By France we’ll see an extra forward on the bench, plus Esterhuisen, for the 6,5/1,5 split to counter the French 7/1.

Nowhere close. Lol
Is the match going to be shown on tv? Can’t find it scheduled anywhere in Aus
Also looking to see if Stan will perhaps broadcast/stream the game. No indication just yet. Find it bizarre that STAN would not broadcast the World No 1 team’s game.
