Canada has climbed into second place in World Rugby's women's rankings, thanks to its 46-24 weekend win over No. 4 France at the WXV tournament.
Ireland moves up one rung to No. 6, dropping Australia to seventh in the new rankings. Canada takes on Ireland on Saturday in Langley, B.C. The first time was also due to the Canadian women, who moved into second in late May after recording their first-ever win over New Zealand with a 22-19 decision to win the Pacific Four Series. Canada slipped back to third in mid-July with the Black Ferns retaking No. 2.
The Canadian women finished second in the inaugural WXV 1 competition won by top-ranked England in New Zealand.
