London - Ireland beat their second 2015 Rugby World Cup opponents in as many matches in the Six Nations but remain fourth in the World Rugby Rankings.
Ireland may have claimed the scalp of their Rugby World Cup opponents France at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday but the 18-11 victory was not enough to return them to third place in the latest World Rugby Rankings.
The Irish lost their mantle as the leading northern hemisphere team in the rankings last weekend when, despite victory over Italy in Rome, they were overtaken by RWC 2015 hosts England on the back of their win over Wales in Cardiff.
