Two weeks ago England regained their third-place loss with a thrilling 23-20 win on Le Crouch, while Ireland beat Australia 27-24 at Murray field to finish sixth.

As a result of the 2021 Six Nations and the 2021 European Rugby Championship, the other five teams are on the rise and have not even played.

Argentina took advantage of a narrow defeat by Scotland, which fell to eighth and Scotland dropped to ninth. Uruguay, meanwhile, are in the process of switching places with Spain Rugby World Cup, who are currently 25-19 at home to Georgia and currently 17th and 18th respectively.

The closest result was a 28-27 home loss to Romania, with Portugal losing three places. Os Lobos fell to 24th place, with Hong Kong, Namibia, and Canada among the beneficiaries.

ENGLAND BOUNCE BACK

Maro Itoje's nearly three minutes ended France's Grand Slam dream, helping England lose to Wales in the third round of the 2021 Six nations.

England was behind for much of the match and trailed 17-13 at half-time following tries from Antoine Dupont and an excellent strike move finished off by Damian Penaud.

Anthony Watson was dangerous all along, scoring England's only try in the the first half, but captain Owen Farrell's 13 points and a daring second-half effort, ending with Itoje's try, denied Les Bleus his first win at Twickenham since 2005.

France, who plays unbeaten Wales in Paris next weekend, can win the title for the primary time since 2010.

WALES ONE WIN AWAY 

Wales swept Italy away in the first of two kick-offs on Saturday in a 48-7 win in Rome. Hooker Ken Owens caught the brace and was joined on the score sheet by both starting wingers Josh Adams and Louis Rees-Zammit, center George North, number eight Taulupe Faletau, and substitute Callum Sheedy.

Monty Ioane's well-received try was a small consolation for the Azzurri, who have now played 31 consecutive Six Nations matches without a win. The result had no effect on the standings as Wales and Italy remain in fifth and 15th place.

SEXTON THE SAVIOUR 

Johnny Sexton's late penalty was the sole thing separating Ireland from Scotland during a bruising battle at Murray field, one that sees Ireland move up to sixth place and Scotland to ninth within the rankings.

Scotland outscored the hosts 3-1, but Sexton kept his nerve to score the winning kick from the left with three minutes left. Finn Russell, Huw Jones, and Hamish Watson scored Scotland's tries, while Robbie Henshaw and therefore the excellent Tadhg Beirne crossed for Ireland.

PAIN FOR SPAIN

The second round of the 2021 European Rugby Championship was equally exciting, especially with qualifying points from the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Georgia currently top the table and lead the race for an area in Pool C for Europe 1 at the tournament in France after an exciting 25-19 convert Spain, meaning two of the 2 wins for Lelos.

Tornike Jalagonia secured Georgia a perfect start in Madrid after just two minutes after their opening-round victory over Portugal. However, Spain responded almost immediately through Brad Linklater's record and it was everyone's game at the end of the first half.

A brilliant save from Captain Merab Sharikadze started Georgia's try and led to Akaki Tabutsadze's try in the 48th minute and Jab Bregvadz added a third with 14 minutes remaining.

However, poor discipline from Georgia was punished by Spain, which remained in the game until the final whistle thanks to several penalties from Bautista Guemes and Linklater.

With less than two-tenths of the score for the win, Georgia could only slightly reduce the big point’s deficit between them and Fiji above them and stay in 12th place. Spain, which would equal its record 16th place if it won, dropped one place to 18th place.

OAKS STAND TALL AT THE DEATH

Florin Vlaicu became the first emerging nation player to score 1,000 Test points at the weekend, but it was Iiel Melinte's last conversion that saw Romania comes from behind to beat Portugal 28-27.

Portugal will follow up last year's convert Romania with tries from Dany Antunes, Jeronimo Portela, and Raffaele Storti and 12 points from Samuel Marques' 27th and 14th.

But two converted tries in the final six minutes from Nicholas Onutu and Ovidiu Cojocaru saw the Oaks double their score to secure a remarkable victory that kept them 19th in the standings.
