The Springboks could fall in World Rugby’s official Test rankings should they fail to avoid defeat by the Wallabies in Adelaide on Saturday.

World Rugby on Thursday revealed the rankings permutations for the third round of the Rugby Championship, where the Wallabies will host the Springboks, while the All Blacks take on Argentina in Christchurch.

New Zealand will climb above South Africa into third place if they avoid defeat against Argentina and the Springboks lose to Australia.

South Africa will, in fact, drop two places if they lose by more than 15 points and New Zealand also beat Argentina.

The Springboks cannot improve on third with victory as they would still trail France above them by at least 0.60 rating points.
