France is the latest and 21st nation to be Fully Ranked on WFN World Rankings, playing their eighth qualifying International (and 2nd against Germany) in Berlin at the weekend.

The 16.10 to 2.4 win for the Black Eagles (a win greater than 40 points being worth a rating change of +/- 2.14) sees Germany climb from 15th to 12th Place with 37.87 Rating points.

Les Bleus (aka les Coqs) enter the Full Ranks at 16th with 36.09 Rating Points consequentially pushing China (17th), Japan (18th), Finland (19th) and India (20th) down one place each respectively.

Germany's rise has been at the expense of  Canada (13th), Sweden (14th) and Peace Team (15th) each pushed down one place respectively. The upcoming European Championships will give us an indication of how accurate the rankings are, at least for the 6 Euro nations competing.
