The Fiji 15's rugby team has slipped to No.10 in the IRB World Rugby rankings.

This was the only change in the rankings after Scotland returned to 9th swapping places with Fiji after beating Ireland 23 20 in the final Six Nations encounter last weekend.

Scotland's first win in the Six Nations 2010 ensured they avoided the wooden spoon and took them nine tenths above Fiji and just over two points behind Wales, who improved their rating by two tenths by beating Italy 33 10.

Ireland's defeat denied them the Triple Crown but has not resulted in a fall from fifth in the rankings as they still hold a just over two point cushion over Argentina.

They do now, though, trail France by 2.82 points after Les Bleus beat seventh ranked England 12 7 to win a first Grand Slam since 2004.

France's victory ensures they remain the leading northern hemisphere nation in the IRB World Rankings and brings them to within 13 hundredths of Australia above them.

They do still trail number one side New Zealand by six points.
