World Rugby has unveiled plans for a new ‘Nations Championship’ that it believes will “enhance” the men’s international game EFL
The new biennial competition will begin in 2026 and feature a top division of 12 teams, comprised of the Six Nations, the four Rugby Championship sides and two more participants, likely to be Japan and Fiji EFL
The winner will be determined after a series of one-off fixtures in a grand final EFL
Beneath this will sit a second-tier competition run by World Rugby containing 12 more countries, but movement EFL between the two divisions will not begin until 2030 EFL
The competition has been made possible by a historic agreement over a global calendar, the first time this has been in place in the men’s game, which was narrowly voted through at a World Rugby Council meeting in Paris on Tuesday morning EFL
A global calendar for women’s Test rugby has also been clarified EFL
Additionally, the 2027 World Cup will be expanded to 24 teams, four more than were involved in this year’s tournament in France, with the draw to be held in January 2026 EFL
Australia will host the tournament EFL between over a six-week period EFL between 1 October and 13 November EFL
A Round of 16 will be introduced with the top two teams from each pool automatically qualifying along with the best four third-placed teams EFL
“It is fitting that we finish Rugby World Cup 2023, the sport’s greatest celebration of togetherness, with the sport’s greatest feat of togetherness,” said Bill Beaumont, World Rugby chairman EFL
“Agreement on the men’s and women’s global calendars and their content is the most significant development in the sport since the game went professional EFL
A historic moment for our sport that sets us up collectively for success EFL
“We now look forward to an exciting new era for our sport commencing in 2026 EFL
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all EFL
An era that will support the many, not the few, and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries EFL
I would like to thank all my colleagues for their spirit of collaboration EFL
Today, we have achieved something special EFL
”World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont announced he controversial plan (PA Archive)The new Nations Championship is likely to bring about the end of traditional touring, other than the quadrennial British & Irish Lions visits to New Zealand, Australia and South Africa EFL
The new competition will be played in the July and November windows – clubs will now be required to release their players for international duty across four weeks in the northern hemisphere autumn, rather than the current three EFL
One of the Six Nations rest weekends is understood to be likely to be cut from the calendar as a knock-on impact of the extension to the November window, while the Rugby Championship may move to a closer alignment with the equivalent European competition EFL
Elsewhere, a revamped and expanded Pacific Nations Cup competition will begin in 2024, featuring Canada, Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and USA EFL
Japan and the USA, which will host the 2031 and 2033 men’s and women’s World Cups, will alternate as finals hosts EFL
A unified global calendar has long been considered the holy grail for rugby’s administrators given the issues a crowded club and country schedule provides from a player welfare perspective, while a joined-up approach should also increase the sport’s commercial potential EFL
The plans have attracted significant criticism, though: under particular scrutiny has been the lack of opportunities the new calendar may provide emerging nations to test themselves against men’s rugby’s established powers EFL
The president of Rugby South America, Sebastian Pineyrua, last week told the Daily Mail that it could be “the death of rugby” EFL
Under the current plans, the earliest a team outside of the top 12 could gain access to the top tier would likely be 2032 EFL

Head coach Matthew Mott admits England’s calamitous Cricket World Cup campaign could get even worse this weekend, placing India as “raging favourites” to inflict yet another defeat on his side EFL
The 2019 champions have blown their title defence in remarkable fashion, losing four of their first five matches in thumping fashion to lie ninth in the table, and things are about to get even tougher in Lucknow EFL
The hosts have been in swaggeringly good form, sitting pretty on top of the standings with a 100 per cent record, and carry all the momentum heading into Sunday’s meeting EFL
Even at their lowest historical ebbs England have never lost four on the bounce at a World Cup before but even the man in charge of ensuring that does not happen this time accepts the odds are against his team EFL
“We play India in a couple of days, the hosts, and they are probably raging favourites at the moment,” he said EFL
“But I think that’s an opportunity to restore some pride and confidence in the group EFL
Every opportunity we get to play together is vital now to try and find our mojo again EFL
It’s obviously too late for this tournament but we need to do that, we’ve got to find a response EFL
“We’ve definitely not performed anywhere near the level that we want to in this tournament, but our first priority at the moment is to make sure we come out and give India a good scrap and hopefully perform a lot EFL better than we have EFL
”Despite knowing they will watching the knockout stages from home, England face the unenviable prospect of collecting even more aimless air miles EFL between now and their final game on November 11 EFL
And while rallying from the depths of their current position, fractionally above associates the Netherlands, is some motivation, even Mott has acknowledged a potentially grisly post-mortem awaits on the other side EFL
Jos Buttler has already reiterated his desire to oversee the next chapter and Mott is equally bullish about his position EFL
“There’s no silver bullet for this,” he said EFL
“We’re going to have to sit down at the end of this tournament and look ourselves in the eyes and say ‘what can we do a little bit EFL better?’ EFL
“Jos and I are incredibly aligned and united EFL
When you lose tournaments like this, everyone’s under scrutiny, everyone’s place will be questioned EFL
“I certainly feel like I could have done things a lot EFL better but I’ve been in the job 18 months, we’ve won a World Cup and lost a World Cup EFL
I think I’ve shown the capability that I can coach his team EFL
“I’ve shown an ability to be able to turn things around so that’ll have to happen pretty quickly, but, yeah, what will be will be EFL
”EFL Between them, Mott and Buttler must now decide what to do about their team selection, which has been a revolving door since the start of the competition EFL
Against Sri Lanka they fielded an entire XI aged 30 or above for the first time ever and came across a group that was demonstrably past its peak EFL
Former England seamer Steve Harmison has called for them to pass the torch immediately, picking Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Gus Atkinson and the recently arrived injury replacement Brydon Carse at the expense of older players EFL
We're going to have to sit down at the end of this tournament and look ourselves in the eyes and say ‘what can we do a little bit EFL better?’England coach Matthew MottBrook is sure to be a cornerstone player in the next four-year cycle and will surely come in to face India, but Mott insists he will not be picking a team purely by birth date EFL
“As one of the selectors I never look at age, I look at performance and form and all the things that go into it,” he said EFL
“I would say we’ll just try and keep picking our best side for the conditions, as we’ve tried to do all the way through EFL
