After losing to the USA with 16-point difference, Georgian national rugby union team lost 1,74 ranking points and one place on IRB ranking.

“The Lelos” lost to “Eagles” 20:36. If the team of Milton Haig had not been scored the last try, only 0,6 points would have been the loss. But Fiji which lost to Scotland 25:37 would overcome us anyway. Fiji lost 0,7 points but Georgians lost so many points that they advanced anyway. The USA is in the 17^th place and approached Japan.

A lot of ranking matches were held last weekend. Argentina defeated France 23:20 and is in the 6^th place. France is in the 7^th place. New Zealand, Australia and South Africa kept leading positions. Wales is in the 4^th place.
