The All Blacks will regain their throne.
New Zealand will regain the lead in the world rankings on Monday, for the first time since 2019, after their success in front of Argentina on Saturday as part of the 4th day of the Rugby Championship, according to projections by World Rugby.
To regain first place in the world, the All Blacks had to win by more than fifteen points in front of the Pumas, which they did by winning 36 to 13, and at the same time count on a defeat of South Africa in front of Australia.
The Springboks, reigning world champions, bowed to the Wallabies (30-17).
South Africa since 2019
South Africa, N.1 since its third World Cup coronation gleaned in 2019, will therefore give way to New Zealand in the next official ranking on Monday.
