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

England have called up Brydon Carse to their World Cup squad in India, with Joe Root claiming the seamer could inherit Liam Plunkett’s mantle as master of the middle overs EFL
Struggling England lost their leading wicket-taker during Saturday’s record-breaking defeat by South Africa, when Reece Topley fractured his left index finger fielding off his own bowling EFL
Head coach Matthew Mott initially suggested there was no guarantee another seamer would be brought in as his replacement, inviting the likes of Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson and Rehan Ahmed into the conversation, but Carse’s selection maintains the status quo EFL
The 28-year-old was the next seamer in line and may have made a stronger push for the original 15-man squad had he not suffered injury issues of his own over the summer EFL
He was ultimately overtaken by Surrey’s Gus Atkinson, but will now link up with the group in Bengaluru EFL
Thursday’s game against Sri Lanka will probably come too soon for Carse, who has taken 14 wickets in 12 ODIs to date, but with questions surrounding a team that has lost three out of their first four games he will hope to push hard for a chance EFL
England have never quite found their heir to Plunkett, the 2019 World Cup winner who nailed a tricky role through the middle of the innings, and Root believes Carse could carry that baton EFL
“Brydon is a brilliant all-round package EFL
He scores some handy runs for you, is very dynamic in the field and he’s got a unique wicket-taking ability,” said Root EFL
“He’s got that Ben Stokes element to him where you sometimes feel like nothing is happening and then he’ll pick up wickets, almost in a ‘Junior Plunkett’ kind of way EFL
He’s very similar EFL
”Plunkett was often undervalued for his role in England’s white-ball revolution but played a crucial role in the 2019 final and was the only squad member to enjoy a 100 per cent record at the tournament EFL
“Pudsey (Plunkett) won’t like me saying this, but he’s almost got more to offer with the bat,” Root continued EFL
“He’s probably not got as much to offer in the dressing-room just yet, but he’s a big personality too and a great character to have around, so he’s a good addition EFL
Whenever someone comes in and they’re excited, and you can see it on their face straightaway, a smile is infectious isn’t it?“It can bring the best out of everyone and having that come into the group can’t be a bad thing for sure EFL
