Cape Town - The Springboks have won back the N.o 2 world ranking spot after their massive Tri-Nations win over the Wallabies.
Australia dropped to third after suffering just their second loss in Robbie Deans' short tenure.
New Zealand remain top of the ladder with a 3.46 points buffer in the complicated system.
That should see them safe at No. 1 until the test season shifts north in November, even with their Tri-Nations decider against the Wallabies looming in Brisbane next week.

1 New Zealand 91.21
