The All Blacks' unexpected slide in the world rugby rankings could see them sit third if things don't go their way in European action this weekend. New Zealand's almost decade-long hold on the top ranking was finally shaken loose last weekend when Wales beat England in Cardiff, sending Warren Gatland's Six Nations champions to the No.1 spot for the first time. The All Blacks' untimely slip to No.2 came despite them thrashing Australia 36-0 in Auckland, a rankings scenario that bemused New Zealand coach Steve Hansen. But more shuffling is likely a month out from the Rugby World Cup in Japan. Ireland will jump to No.1 if they beat England in their Cup warm-up clash at Twickenham A win – by any margin – would see the Irish jump from third to first, with Wales dropping to second and New Zealand to third. Ireland have never held the No.1 ranking since the current system was introduced in 2003. Meanwhile, a win for England – again by any margin – would see them leapfrog South Africa into fourth spot. The resurgent Springboks moved past England after their 24-18 win over Argentina in Pretoria last weekend. There are no matches this weekend involving the southern hemisphere heavyweights. The All Blacks sit quietly to await their rankings fate, their recent draw with the Springboks and heavy loss to the Wallabies in Perth still having ramifications.All Please Like, Share & Subscribe ►Please Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2IHrfeW ►Business Enquiries: garethmason3@gmail.com ►Please support me in growing this channel, any donation will be greatly appreciated: https://www.patreon.com/GarethMasonWalkingTallwithGMAN Connect with me on my Social Media Channels: ► Facebook: http://bit.ly/2Jz5lwi ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/2YRe0zu ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/32vbqBe Why I created my YouTube Channel: Through my YouTube Channel "Walking Tall with G-MAN" I strive to inspire and motivate people to never give up in life as well as using this platform to share my sporting passion.
