Scotland have risen to their best-ever position in the World Rugby women’s rankings after their first win on Welsh soil for 20 years on Saturday.
The 20-18 win at Cardiff Arms Park saw Scotland leapfrog Wales into sixth place on the rankings.
Bryan Easson’s team were guaranteed to move up one place in victory but Italy’s 48-0 home defeat to England 24 hours later enabled them to climb two places, above both Wales and the Azzurre.
