The World Rugby rankings determine which international side is considered the world’s best. The Wallabies rose to third on the table following twin upset victories over reigning World Cup winners the Springboks in the 2021 Rugby Championship, but three losses in a row to Scotland, England and Wales on the 2021 Spring Tour saw them slide back to sixth. They temporarily rose to fifth after a win over England in the first Test but slipped to seventh after losing the series to England and an away Test to Argentina as part of the Rugby Championship. After a whirlwind Rugby Championship, the Aussies found themselves down to ninth on the table following consecutive losses to the All Blacks – their lowest-ever spot in the official rankings. However, their win over Scotland to start the Spring Tour was enough to leapfrog them back up to sixth in a single bound – straight-swapping with the Scots, who found themselves in ninth before a win over Fiji propelled them a spot up. Despite numerous difficulties on a troubled Spring Tour, their epic comeback win over Wales was enough for them to finish in sixth, where a loss would have seen them slump again to ninth. Meanwhile, the All Blacks have hit a historic low of fifth a pair of times in 2022, but their face-saving win over the Pumas and a pair of wins over Japan and Wales plus a draw with England has seen them climb back to third, surpassing the Boks, while also claiming another Rugby Championship title.

The rankings explained

The World Rugby Rankings operate using a points exchange system, where two teams will exchange points following a game against each other. That is, the losing team’s points total will be reduced by the same amount that the winning side’s is increased by. Each side has a points rating almost always ranging from 0-100, with the no.1 side in the world often ranked between 90-100. A range of factors impact the number of points exchanged following each match, including each side’s ranking going into the match, the location of the game – to take into account home ground advantage – and the margin of the result. Home ground advantage to is taken into account by ‘handicapping’ the home side – their ranking is given three additional points for the purpose of comparing the relative strength of the two sides. If the margin of victory exceeds 15 points, then the points exchanged between the side is multiplied by 1.5. All international matches are given the same weighting as each other for ranking purposes – so a Bledisloe Cup game is given no more weighting than a match between Georgia and Italy, for example – so as to not disadvantage those sides who don’t have access to rugby’s biggest tournaments. The one exception to this is Rugby World Cup games, for which the points exchange is doubled.

Are there any female jockeys?

In 2012, the first female jockey to finish in the top three was Katie Walsh on Seabass. Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh both started six Grand Nationals, a joint record for a woman. In 2021, Rachael Blackmore, riding Minella Times, became the first female jockey to win the race.

Since 1977, female jockeys have been allowed in the Grand National horse race following the passing of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. A total of 19 female jockeys have entered the Grand National since then. Charlotte Brew on her horse, Barony Fort, was the first woman to compete in the race, in 1977. In 1982 Geraldine Rees became the first woman to complete the course. She rode Cheers to eighth place. That time, Brew returned with her horse Martinstown; this was the first Grand National with two female jockeys entering. In 1988, female participation was at an all-time high, as three women entered for the first time. Penny Ffitch-Heyes, Venetia Williams and Gee Armytage all started the race. None of their horses made the finish. In 2005, after an absence of 11 years, there was once again a woman entering the Grand National. Carrie Ford finished in fifth, then the joint-best performance by a woman. She shared the record with Rosemary Henderson, the last female jockey to start the race. In 2012, the first female jockey to finish in the top three was Katie Walsh on Seabass. Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh both started six Grand Nationals, a joint record for a woman. In 2021, Rachael Blackmore, riding Minella Times, became the first female jockey to win the race.[1]
