Welsh end season 12th in rankings
Daily Post
|July 22, 2025
THE final World Rugby rankings of the season have been announced, with Wales ending the campaign in 12th place after finally putting an end to their dismal losing streak.
After a run of 18 Test match defeats, which stretched all the way back to the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, Welsh fans were finally able to celebrate a victory earlier this month as Matt Sherratt's side overcame Japan in the second of two Tests.
That win not only got a sizeable monkey off the backs of all those involved with the national side, but also ensured that Wales moved back up the global rankings, having dropped to a record low of 14th in the world following their opening tour defeat to Japan, who leapfrogged Sherratt's side alongside Samoa.
