The Flying Fijians have dropped to tenth in the World Rugby rankings following their opening match of the Northern Tour. A significant defeat, with a score of 57-17 against Scotland, has resulted in Fiji falling one position in the rankings.
In a notable shift, Australia, which previously held the tenth spot, has now moved up to ninth, overtaking Fiji. Looking ahead, the Flying Fijians are set to face Wales, currently positioned in 11th place. This upcoming match poses a critical challenge, as a loss could see Fiji slipping out of the top 10 altogether.
Despite the recent setback, the Flying Fijians still have an opportunity to reclaim their position in the rankings. A strong performance against Wales could not only boost their standing but also restore confidence within the team. The coming week will be vital for Fiji, as they aim to bounce back and demonstrate their resilience on the international stage.
