Sunday’s Autumn Nations Cup clash at Twickenham between England and France was the final Test of the Covid-19 disrupted year and so Test rugby is done for year 2020. The coolest part is that our national rugby team, the Springboks still reigns supreme even without playing one single Test over the past 12 months.
The Springboks started the year at the top of the standings after just winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup and they will finish the year in the same position. With everything said and done, the Springboks will end the year on 94.20 points.
England will finish in second place on 89.49, some 4.71 points less than South Africa. The All Blacks will have to make peace the with third spot on 88.95. The top 3 will be followed by France, Ireland, Australia, Scotland, Argentina, Wales and Japan in rounding out the top 10.
