how they work
How the rankings are calculated
World Rugby uses a points-exchange system. Every team has a rating, usually between 0 and 100, and after each Test the winner takes points from the loser. How many depends on the gap between the two ratings: an upset moves more points than an expected win.
The home team is treated as if it were 3 points stronger, a win by more than 15 points moves 1.5 times as many points, and Rugby World Cup matches count double.

questions
Frequently asked questions
Why didn't my team's ranking change after a win?
When a much higher-rated team beats a much lower-rated one, the expected result happened, so few or no points change hands.
Are sevens rankings included?
No. The app shows the fifteens rankings for men and women.
Can I follow my country?
Yes. Tap the star next to a team. Its profile also shows where that country ranks in the other sports in the app.
