Toulouse still in the lead but the Top 14 final remains to be played, meanwhile Benetton climbs one position
European OnRugby Ranking 2023/24
The main European championships are drawing to a close and with them also our European OnRugby Ranking for the 2023/24 season. The Premiership has already closed its doors, and last weekend the United Rugby Championship also played its final. Only the French Top 14 remains to be concluded, which has seen the semi-finals played and awaits the grand finale on Friday 28 June.
However, the results of the URC final and the Top 14 semi-finals have significantly changed our ranking for clubs from the Old Continent plus South Africa. Let’s see the main movements and how the ranking looks like with only one match left to play, the final of the French championship between Toulouse and Bordeaux-Bègles.

It is Toulouse that has occupied first place for a few weeks now. The victory in the semi-final over La Rochelle allows them to confirm their supremacy and, above all, to resist the great leap forward of the Glasgow Warriors. Their victory away to the Bulls crowns them winners of the 2023/24 URC and lifts the Scots up to second place. The Northampton Saints, champions of England, are overtaken but retain third place.
Outside the podium we find the first Irish team of the European OnRugby Ranking, Munster, ahead of the first South African team, the Bulls. Leinster follows and then La Rochelle, fallen to seventh position after the defeat in the semi-final of Top 14, just ahead of the other winner Bordeaux-Bègles.
Bordeaux which thus, in addition to accessing the final, enters the Top 10 occupying eighth place. Stade Français, on the other hand, did badly, beaten in the semi-finals and collapsed in the standings: the Parisian club now occupies 22nd position. However, Benetton Rugby can smile about this as, despite without matches, they took advantage of the collapse of the Stade Français to gain a place and move up to 17th place.
