Wales will enter the 2027 Rugby World Cup draw on Wednesday positioned 11th in the latest World Rugby rankings, a spot confirmed by recent results despite a heavy defeat to New Zealand.
The ranking ensures Wales cannot rise into the top ten or fall further, with Japan’s narrow win over Georgia reshuffling the lower seedings and leaving Georgia 13th.
