Wales's Historical Rankings

Wales have won 330 of their 638 Test matches, a win percentage of 53.91 (see table). When the IRB World Rankings were introduced in October 2003, Wales were ranked eighth. They rose to seventh in June 2004, before falling back to eighth in November that year. Following a Grand Slam win of the 2005 Six Nations Championship, they rose to a ranking position of fifth. They fell to ninth by June 2006, and, after rising back to eighth by September, fell to tenth after the 2007 World Cup. A second Grand Slam in 2008 Six Nations Championship promoted them to sixth in the IRB World Rankings, following three successive losses to South Africa in the June tour and the first of the 2008 Autumn Internationals Wales slipped to seventh. Victories over Canada and Australia, coupled with losses for England against the Tri-Nations teams resulted in Wales gaining fifth position in the rankings, followed by a further climb to fourth position after a four-try win over Scotland at Murrayfield in their first match of the 2009 Six Nations Championship.
