Following the 3-Test Series between Fiji and Nauru the WFN World Rankings have been updated. This is the first update since the completion of the 2011 International Cup and includes the recent win by the United States over Canada.

As mentioned in recent articles, Fiji have now played the required 8 games to be fully ranked in our unofficial system, entering at 11th. Nauru move into 5th, displacing South Africa. Samoa have not played an international match for over 4 years and so fall back to provisional ranking only.

Please note also Canada and USA have now played 36 matches each but no change occurred in their respective Rating Points after their last Match in August.

Read on for the full list and note that the full World Rankings pages have been updated.
