Americas Rankings: August 16, 2021

The Americas Rankings is an exclusive on Americas Rugby News. The rankings compare the men’s test teams from throughout the Americas. Matches recognized as caps are used for the rankings. Teams yet to compete since the Americas Rankings began are listed with 30.00 points.

The current edition considers the result of Saturday’s Rugby Championship match in Port Elizabeth. Los Pumas fell to a 20 point defeat against South Africa. Notwithstanding, the 32-12 loss has not seen Argentina falling in the rankings. Rather, Argentina have risen above Australia due to the result of the Wallabies loss against New Zealand.

The updated rankings see Argentina ranked on 83.15 points and Australia on 83.14. Both teams will play again this coming Saturday. In a repeat of this past weekend Australia face New Zealand and Argentina face South Africa. A win for either the Wallabies or Los Pumas will bring about further changes in the rankings. As it stands Argentina are 6th in the world.
