Scotland have dropped outside the world's top 10 following their RBS Six Nations home defeat against England on Saturday.

The Scots' 13-6 loss relegated them one place to 11th, meaning they swapped positions with Samoa in the latest International Rugby Board rankings list.

England stay in fifth, but Wales have climbed two places to sixth as a result of yesterday's thrilling 23-21 victory over Ireland in Dublin, with the Irish falling to eighth.

Six Nations title favourites France, conquerors of Italy two days ago, remain third behind world champions and runaway leaders New Zealand, while Australia lie second.
