Our round-up of the top international teams in world rugby right now.
The rankings for the best rugby teams in the world are always changing depending on results. The longest time a team has remained top of the official rankings was New Zealand - for nine years, nine months and three days between 2009 and 2019. Since the world rankings were first published in 2003, six teams have been ranked first in the world: New Zealand, South Africa, England, Ireland, Wales and France. But the world rankings do not always reflect fans' opinions, who debate which team is best. RadioTimes.com brings you our top five international rugby union teams in the world right now, based on recent form, style, trajectory and achievements. 5. France France had been a lethal force to come up against, with Antoine Dupont at the heart of their threat. However, the team narrowly lost to South Africa in the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-final, and it seems they are having a slight hangover from the defeat. Dupont is temporarily no longer their talisman, as he has turned to 7s in a bid for an Olympic medal. France still have star quality, but the connection between the team seems to have lost its spark, the lacklustre performances being optimised by their 13-13 draw against Italy in the 2024 Six Nations. Despite not being back to their best post-RWC, the team are still producing moments of brilliance, though. One to stand out in the Six Nations was winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey's try against Scotland, which saw the young winger kick the ball through and catch it himself to go over. 4. Scotland Scotland found themselves in the pool of death at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, coming up against Ireland and South Africa. The difficult task of getting out of the pool was too much for the team, but they have continued to progress. The 2024 Six Nations has not seen the best performances from Scotland, but they are a team who can get over the line in matches. As well as getting results, they have players in their ranks that pull out magical moments. Two who are at the top of Scotland's star list are Duhan van der Merwe and Finn Russell. Van der Merwe is lightning on the wing, particularly when he plays England, and Russell is co-captain fantastic as his skill brings the entire Scottish operation together. 3. New Zealand New Zealand are one of the best teams to ever play rugby, and they are still at the top of their game. The team were slightly written off before the 2023 Rugby World Cup after a dip in form, but they came good, knocking out Ireland and Argentina to reach the final. The team may have fallen short to South Africa, but they remain one of the most exciting teams to watch. One of their players, who is already a star and one to watch, is versatile back Will Jordan. The player is currently nursing an injury, but equalled the most number of tries scored at a singular RWC in 2023 as he went over the white wash eight times; the other two players to do so were Jonah Lomu and Bryan Habana. New Zealand are now in a new era with head coach Scott Robertson taking over, but it is almost a dead cert they will remain among the best teams. 2. South Africa South Africa became the second team ever to win back-to-back Rugby World Cups in 2023 with a win over New Zealand in the final. The team not only toppled the All Blacks, but they did so by just a point - in fact, the Springboks won the quarter-final, semi-final and final by a singular point. They have stars throughout their team, including one of the sport's biggest names in their captain Siya Kolisi. Kolisi, who plays for Racing 92, is at the heart of the team, and has been applauded for his leadership qualities. The Springboks will be a force to be reckoned with for a long time to come, with their first fixtures of 2024 coming in summer friendlies. The team will play Wales, Ireland and Portugal. 1. Ireland Ireland may not have been able to reach the Rugby World Cup semi-finals in 2023, but the disappointment of falling short has not impacted their form. The 2024 Six Nations saw one of their best performances under Andy Farrell to date. Ireland's opening match was against France, who themselves had RWC heartbreak with a loss in the quarters. Farrell's team travelled to Marseille and it was a game many thought would be closely fought. However, Ireland completely dominated France to come away with a record win. It takes another top team on their best day to topple Ireland at the moment, and it could remain that way - as Farrell has signed a new deal to remain Ireland boss. The former rugby league and union player will be Ireland's head coach until the end of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

Our round-up of the finest rugby union players in the world right now.
There is so much talent in rugby at the moment, but who are the best rugby players in the world right now? Fans will disagree on who they believe would make the top 10, with all manner of factors to consider - with trophies, scoring ability and leadership skills all involved. RadioTimes.com brings you our round-up of the best and most exciting rugby players currently tearing it up across both the northern and southern hemisphere, with an explanation as to why the players are placed in their positions Read on to find out the full list. 10. Handrè Pollard (South Africa) Handrè Pollard is the definition of a clutch player - always there to depend on in the tough moments. His kick in the 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-final against England got his team into the final, and his kicking ability came good again as he scored all the points as the Springboks beat New Zealand to claim back-to-back titles. 9. Duhan van der Merwe (Scotland) Wing Duhan van der Merwe is lethal with ball in hand and some space. Arguably his best try scored was against England in the 2023 Six Nations, where he beat five defenders and ran 55m. He backed up his good performance against the old enemy in the 2024 Six Nations, scoring a hat-trick - with each try coming from some individual brilliance. 8. Eben Etzebeth (South Africa) Eben Etzebeth is one of the first players that comes to mind when fans think of the Springboks jersey. The lock has won more than 100 caps for his country, and continues to be one of, if not the best lock in the world. He has won the Rugby World Cup twice, and in the 2023 campaign he was key in turning momentum in South Africa's favour in their quarter-final against hosts France. 7. Ardie Savea (New Zealand) No. 8 Ardie Savea was named World Rugby's Player of the Year in 2023 after picking up a silver medal at the Rugby World Cup. Savea's standout performance in the tournament held in France came in the quarter-final, where his scoring prowess aided his team to victory over Ireland. He has also added his leadership skills to the All Blacks, captaining the team on multiple occasions. 6. Bundee Aki (Ireland) Centre Bundee Aki is best known for his ability to get over the gain line and for his crunching tackles. His form is always consistent, and some may have thought he could not get any better, then his performances at the 2023 Rugby World Cup happened and he proved there is no limitation to his talents. He made 10 clean breaks, beat 30 defenders, made 28 tackles and scored five tries at the tournament. Aki has won two Six Nations titles with Ireland and the Pro12 with club Connacht. 5. Dan Sheehan (Ireland) Sheehan is a world class hooker. He is an expert at the line-out and solid at scrum time. The Leinster player has also shown his abilities down the wing during the 2024 Six Nations, including with a fast-paced try against Italy in round two - which also displayed his power. He has cemented himself into Andy Farrell's side and has already won a Grand Slam title. 4. Pieter-Steph du Toit (South Africa) Pieter-Steph du Toit was central to South Africa's 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cup campaigns. His consistency for club (Toyota Verblitz) and country is second to none, and he raised his game once again for the 2023 final - where he was named Player of the Match. Away from the Rugby World Cup, he was named World Rugby's Player of the Year in 2019 and won the Rugby Championship the same year. 3. Will Jordan (New Zealand) Will Jordan has lit up the rugby stage for years, and added to his list of achievements at the 2023 Rugby World Cup. He finished the tournament with eight tries, equalling the record for most tries at a Rugby World Cup. The other two players to have achieved the feat are legends Jonah Lomu and Bryan Habana. The versatile back, who has won the Super Rugby title multiple times with the Crusaders, has at least one more Rugby World Cup cycle in him to add to his points tally. 2. Finn Russell (Scotland) Finn Russell went viral for jokingly calling himself the 'Messi of rugby', but he is not wrong. Slick offloads, an accurate boot and audacious plays are at the heart of the fly-half's game. His impact has been made clear by Bath's uptick in form during the 2023/24 season. He is yet to win a tournament trophy with Scotland, but the team's form is improving every year, in part thanks to Russell's magic. 1. Antoine Dupont (France) Antoine Dupont needs no introduction, and few would disagree that he is the best player in the world right now. Not only can he display his skills on a 15s stage, but he has also started his 7s career with a bang, scoring a try on his debut for France. He is one of the greatest of all time, let alone just 2024. So far in his career, he has won the Six Nations with France and three top 14 titles with Toulouse.

Eddie Jones is seeking his first win in his second spell as Australia coach and he will be hoping it comes with their final World Cup warm-up against France.

Ireland have had injury worries in their squad in the build-up to their World Cup warm-up against Samoa.

Check out how to watch England v Fiji in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
England have endured a bad news week leading into their final World Cup warm-up against Fiji this Saturday.

To compound the misery, wing Anthony Watson has been ruled out of the World Cup because of a calf injury. Yet while those stories have dictated the headlines, there is another point from the England camp which should be highlighted. Watch England v Fiji on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial Courtney Lawes will win his 100th cap this weekend and coach Steve Borthwick said of him: "It has been a privilege to watch his journey and witness him develop into a truly outstanding rugby player.

Check out how to watch New Zealand v South Africa in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
South Africa will play New Zealand in a Rugby World Cup warm-up this Friday, but both teams are not regarding the match as a friendly. The last time the two teams faced one another was in the Rugby Championship in July with the All Blacks 35-20 winners. South Africa head coach Jacques Nienaber is aware of what the history between the two nations means. He said: “The rivalry between the Springboks and All Blacks is one of the most intense in world rugby, so it’s a great way for us to wrap up our warm-up matches before heading to France for the World Cup. Watch New Zealand v South Africa on Sky Sports “This match may be on neutral ground [it is being played at Twickenham], but we expect it to be as epic as every other Test between the teams. They are a quality team with several playmakers and physical forwards, and they’ll give everything on Friday." New Zealand are also up for the battle with No 8 Ardie Savea adding: "It's [warm-up] not part of our vocabulary at the moment. We want to go out there firing and banging. "For me, every Test is hard, and that's just an internal gut feel I put upon myself, and the standard in every game is hard and tough and you want to get prepared for that and playing this game against South Africa leading up to what is next is important."

Check out how to watch Wales v South Africa in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Wales host South Africa in what is Warren Gatland's side's final Summer Series match - so it is the last chance for players to impress before the coach names his World Cup squad. Gatland has made 14 changes to the side that lost to England at Twickenham last Saturday. Taine Basham, who was tackled high by Owen Farrell, is OK to play but starts from the bench. Liam Williams and Dan Biggar were initially selected to start but have been replaced due to injury. Debutant Cai Evans comes into the side and Sam Costelow starts at No 10. Jac Morgan will once again captain the side, while Johnny Williams and Alex Cuthbert start at centre and wing respectively. Watch Wales v South Africa on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial South Africa, meanwhile, welcome back talismanic captain Siya Kolisi who will play in his first match since April because of a knee injury. Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber said of his return: "It's nice to have him back and have him playing again. "He's worked hard and he really deserves it. The amount of effort and sacrifice that Siya put in to be ready now - this is probably a reward for him to get an opportunity to play. It's nice for the team to have him back because he's been an integral part of this team over the last six years that we've been together."

What channel is Ireland v England Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Ireland v England in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
All the talk in the build-up to Ireland hosting England in a World Cup warm-up clash is surrounding Owen Farrell. The England captain was shown a red card in the team's win over Wales last week for a dangerous tackle. The consensus among fans and the media was Farrell was destined for a long ban with the potential of seeing him out of the start of the World Cup. The Saracens player faced a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday and the outcome shook the rugby world: Farrell's red card was overturned and no ban whatsoever was handed out, the fly-half able to play immediately. But another twist in the situation came on Thursday as World Rugby confirmed they would be appealing the decision, meaning Farrell could still be handed a ban. Watch Ireland v England on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial The situation is ongoing and it has seen Steve Borthwick opt not to play Farrell this weekend. George Ford starts at 10 with Marcus Smith on the bench. Borthwick said in his original plan Farrell was going to be involved in the match, but added: "In light of the fact that so much of Owen’s training and match preparation time this week has been significantly affected and interrupted by the disciplinary process, I have not selected him in the matchday 23. Owen will travel to Ireland with our full support." For Ireland, meanwhile, it's their bold selection choices making the headlines. Cian Prendergast starts at No.8 for the first time and veteran player Keith Earls is set to win his 100th cap from the bench.

Check out how to watch France v Scotland in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
France and Scotland will play again on Saturday - but this time in Saint Etienne, after Gregor Townsend's side beat the French in Edinburgh last weekend. Scotland staged an impressive comeback to win 25-21 after trailing 21-3. It was not all good news for Scotland, though, as Zander Fagerson was red carded for charging into a ruck. He will be available for their first World Cup match against South Africa after a reduced ban. Townsend's men will look to enact another victory, but the head coach has made six changes for the World Cup warm-up. Among them is captain Jamie Ritchie's return to the squad, and experienced scrum-half Ali Price will line up next to half-back partner and last week's skipper Finn Russell. Watch Rugby World Cup warm-up matches on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial France, meanwhile, make 13 changes to their starting squad, with a completely new back line which includes captain Antoine Dupont and prolific try scorer Damian Penaud. Paul Boudehent retains his spot but is the only one kept from the back row, with Charles Ollivon and Grégory Alldritt coming in. Both France and Scotland are yet to announce their final 33-man squad for the World Cup being held in France, and so players still have an opportunity to impress their coaches ahead of the final decision.

England will look to avenge their humbling 20-9 defeat to Wales last weekend as the two teams take on one another again in a rematch at Twickenham. Steve Borthwick's side failed to score a try in the match and will be more keen to lay down a statement win after announcing the squad for the World Cup on Monday. Borthwick made a few surprise calls, the most shocking being the exclusion of Exeter's Henry Slade, who had played in the Six Nations. Slade has said on social media he is "gutted" to miss out on a spot and head coach Borthwick has spoken about his decision. "Henry has been excellent throughout the training camp," Borthwick said. "He is clearly disappointed. The message to the players that have not been selected is to be ready to come into the squad. We know that there will be changes. Watch Rugby World Cup warm-up matches on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial "The last World Cup shows that with bumps and bruises, the average is nearly two players a squad in the last number of tournaments (are changed), so what I have asked every player who hasn’t been selected is to be ready to go." Wales, meanwhile, will look to follow up a good win with another - but coach Warren Gatland has rung the changes for their outing at the home of English rugby. He has named a completely new starting XV with Dewi Lake skippering the side and Joe Roberts winning his first cap at centre. Josh Adams will also win his 50th cap on the wing, while Kemsley Mathias and Keiran Williams could make their debuts from the bench.

Check out how to watch Wales v England in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Wales and England get their World Cup warm-ups under way on Saturday when they face one another at the Principality Stadium. It is the same setting as when Steve Borthwick's men beat Wales in the Six Nations in February, but the teams look a lot different. Wales coach Warren Gatland has opted for an inexperienced side against England, with Jac Morgan captaining the side for the first time. Henry Thomas is also included and is among five players who could win their first cap. Thomas starts on the bench but is not unfamiliar with international rugby after previous winning seven caps for rivals England. His last came in 2014, and because of World Rugby's new eligibility rules he was able to switch to Wales - which he qualifies for through his father. Watch Rugby World Cup warm-up matches on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial Alun Wyn Jones, Rhys Webb and Justin Tipuric were all in the Six Nations squad but have since retired from the international game, despite being included in the World Cup training squad. Wales are not completely without experience, though, as Leigh Halfpenny lines up to win his 100th cap. For England, Steve Borthwick names a strong team including Freddie Steward, Max Malins and Joe Cokanasiga. Owen Farrell is not included in the matchday 23, with Marcus Smith starting at 10 and George Ford named on the bench. With Farrell not included, Ellis Genge is named as captain.

What channel is Ireland v Italy Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Ireland v Italy in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Ireland will play Italy in a World Cup warm-up match on Saturday, but Andy Farrell's men will have to do so without their talismanic captain Johnny Sexton. Fly-half Sexton, who will retire after the World Cup, has not played since the Grand Slam-winning match against England in March because of injury, and he will not feature against Italy as he has received a suspension. He has been banned for three matches for misconduct after his behaviour at the Champions Cup final, meaning he will not be able to play in any of Ireland's warm-up matches. Sexton's first match back will be Ireland's World Cup opener against Romania on 9th September. Watch Rugby World Cup warm-up matches on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial In his stead, Iain Henderson will skipper the team with Jack Crowley at 10. The biggest bit of team news apart of Sexton is the return of winger Jacob Stockdale. He will play in his first international game since 2021 after an injury-laden few years. Italy have already begun their warm-up preparations and have made 10 changes from their defeat to Scotland last weekend. Federico Ruzza is captain once again with Michele Lamaro on the bench and star back-rower Sebastian Negri is back in the pack. Tommaso Allan moves to full-back as Paolo Garbisi is back at fly-half and has regular half-back partner Stephen Varney alongside him. Montanna Ioane lines up once again on the wing, but on the other wing is Paolo Odogwu, who wins his first cap. Odogwu was eligible to play for England but was never capped, and so concentrated his efforts into getting into the Italy team.

What channel is Scotland v France Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Scotland v France in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Scotland will host France in a World Cup warm-up on Saturday, with the latter fielding a very different team to what fans are used to seeing. France have gone with an experimental side but the important context is that this is their first World Cup warm-up match. Captain and scrum-half Antoine Dupont is not named in the matchday 23, with Fabien Galthié opting for Baptiste Couilloud at nine and full-back Brice Dulin as skipper. Romain Ntamack also sits this one out with Matthieu Jalibert at 10 and Antoine Hastoy as fly-half cover on the bench. Watch Rugby World Cup warm-up matches on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial Paul Willemse, who missed France's last Six Nations match against Wales through injury, is named on the bench. Scotland, meanwhile, have made 13 changes to the team that beat Italy last weekend, and have named a strong side. Finn Russell is back at 10 and will captain the team, which also includes Duhan van der Merwe, Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu. The likes of Hamish Watson and Pierre Schoeman return in the forward pack. The difference in experience between the teams could see Scotland head into the match as favourites, especially after running a full-strength French team close in the Six Nations. Scotland lost 32-21 to Les Bleus in February. RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Scotland v France on TV and online. When is Scotland v France? Scotland v France will take place on Saturday 5th August 2022. The game takes place at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. What time is kick-off? Scotland v France will kick off at 3:15pm.

What channel is New Zealand v Australia Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch New Zealand v Australia in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Eddie Jones is seeking his first win in his second reign as Australia coach after losing all three Rugby Championship matches. The former England boss will get a chance to lodge his first victory against New Zealand on Saturday in a World Cup warm-up match. Jones had spoken about what a New Zealand scalp means before the two teams faced off in the Rugby Championship on 29th July. "There's nothing better than [beating] New Zealand because you're feeling the country sinking," he said. "It's not just rugby that sinks, the country sinks. The whole economy goes down. The prime minister is there with his fingers crossed hoping the All Blacks win because he knows the economy will drop if they lose." Watch New Zealand v Australia on Sky Sports But Ian Foster's side did not see the economy sink at all with the All Blacks thumping the Wallabies 38-7. New Zealand have had less hype around them heading towards the World Cup after some disappointing results in 2022 but after winning every Rugby Championship match, they have tails wagging once more. Foster, though, wants to continue the quietened press. "Maybe if you guys could dampen some of your headlines, that'd be good," Foster said to the press after beating Australia. "We could keep under the radar for a little bit longer. What other people think is kind of irrelevant to us. We're trying to build something that gets us where we want to be." They will be aiming to take another step forward against Australia in Dunedin. RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch New Zealand v Australia on TV and online. When is New Zealand v Australia? New Zealand v Australia will take place on Saturday 5th August 2022. The game takes place at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin. What time is kick-off?

What channel is Argentina v South Africa Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Argentina v South Africa in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Argentina and South Africa will clash once again - this time in a World Cup warm-up match - after they closely battled in the Rugby Championship on 29th July. South Africa managed to pip Michael Cheika's side by a single point, with the game ending 22-21. If Argentina had pulled off the win, it would have been their first victory over South Africa since 2018. Coach Cheika had fighting talk after the showdown as well, saying: "We can't wait to play the rematch, because the group is in a very good physical and mental moment." Watch Argentina v South Africa on Sky Sports The win for South Africa meant they finished as Rugby Championship runners-up, behind New Zealand, and they will be looking to build on that ahead of the World Cup start in September. Head coach Jacques Nienaber has named Bongi Mbonambi as the captain for Saturday's match. It will be the first time the experienced hooker, who will win his 60th cap against Argentina, has skippered the side. Nienaber, who will step down as the Springboks head coach after the World Cup, said: “This is going to be a massive physical battle and there will be a lot of pressure on the players mentally and physically, which is exactly the type of situation we would like to see them in as we enter our World Cup warm-up games.” RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Argentina v South Africa on TV and online.

What channel is Scotland v Italy Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Scotland v Italy in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Scotland will host Italy at Murrayfield for both teams' first World Cup warm-up match, ahead of the tournament start in September. If it is anything like their close encounter during the Six Nations, fans are in for a treat. Back in March, Gregor Townsend's side were leading the match 19-14 but Italy were just metres away from scoring with a minute remaining. They coughed up possession, though, and Blair Kinghorn finished off an incredible try to seal Scotland's 26-14 win. Kinghorn starts on the bench for this match with Ben Healy at 10 and Ollie Smith at 15. Scotland do not have centurion Stuart Hogg in the team, as although the full-back had originally planned to retire after the World Cup, he announced his immediate retirement on 9th July. Watch Rugby World Cup warm-up matches on Amazon Prime with your 30-day free trial The game seems a test of depth for both squads with big names missing from both teams, particularly in Italy's XV. The Azzurri's three big stars - captain Michele Lamaro, back-row Sebastian Negri and full-back Ange Capuozzo - are all not included. Capuozzo missed a lot of the end of the season with injury but he was included in Italy's World Cup training squad. A good note for Italy, though, is that Montanna Ioane returns after not playing in the Six Nations. It is a chance for players to prove themselves to their respective coaches with the final World Cup squad announcements coming in the next few weeks.
