Australia was sitting fifth in the rankings ahead of last weekend's clash, with a win moving them two spots up the ledger.
The Wallabies leapfrogged Ireland and South Africa in the process.
New Zealand's one-point win over South Africa has extended its gap on the rest of the world rugby pack.
England has maintained its second-place ranking, with the end-of-year tour still to come next month.
