Nothing was gained for the Georgian national rugby team in the weekly ranking of IRB by defeating Russia 36:10 last Saturday at “Boris Paichadze” stadium and remained in the 16th place with 69,57 points.
The French team, which lost to Wales 6:27 in the 3rd round of Six Nations, has suffered the biggest drop in the top ten and is in the worst 7th place. Ireland has also overtaken them, which lost in England 10:13 but occupied the 5th place. England still remains the leader of Northern Hemisphere, which is in the 4th place and is 4.7 points ahead of the nearest opponent.
The third match of Six Nations, in which Italy lost to Scotland at the last minute 20:21, made the Italians loss the 13th place and Japan overtook with 0.01 points. It should be noted that since 2003, when the ratings were introduced, the Italians have not been to such a low place. Spain, the next opponent of Georgia, let Portugal the 21th place, which defeated Belgium.
