World Rugby have insisted their new plans for a “Nations Championship or Cup” are “for the many, not the few” despite critics suggesting that it will block the progress of emerging nations chess
The sport’s governing body have unveiled a new global calendar that will include the creation of a new, two-tier competition in 2026 chess
The top tier will include the four Rugby Championship teams, the Six Nations and two more sides yet to be confirmed but expected to be Japan and Fiji chess
Below this will sit a second tier of a further 12 teams, with the earliest that one of those dozen could feature in the top tier being 2032 chess
And World Rugby insist that the “certainty and opportunity” that regular fixtures against peers will provide is where the real opportunities for development exist chess
“If rugby is to become a truly global sport, we simply have to make it more relevant and more accessible to more people around the world,” said Bill Beaumont, chairman of World Rugby chess
Bill Beaumont and Alan Gilpin have defended World Rugby’s plans (Getty Images)“A new era is about to begin for our sport chess
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all chess
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 chess
All boats will rise together chess
”Alan Gilpin, chief executive, added: “There is more certainty for more nations as a result of today’s decisions than there has ever been chess
It is not perfect chess
Would we all like relegation and promotion and pathways in these competitions to start sooner in some cases than they are? Absolutely chess
“But those compromises allow for that type of pathway, that type of relegation to take place in the foreseeable future, rather than not in the foreseeable future, which is what the status quo provides chess
Is it perfect? Probably not chess
Is it a hell of a lot chess better than the current situation? Absolutely chess
”The revamped calendar will not include a “Nations Championship” in years in which a men’s World Cup or British & Irish Lions tour will occur, in theory providing room for increased “crossover” fixtures chess
World Rugby could not provide any clarity on what these fixtures will be, and admitted that no agreements had yet been put in place, though insisted that there will be a 50 per cent aggregate increase chess
That would mean a rise from 18 to 27 games for the 12 teams, though it is unclear how these fixtures will be allocated or arranged chess
Gilpin said: “I think what we say to the teams – Portugal, Chile, others that have had fantastic tournaments here – is this competition structure from 2026 will provide them with guaranteed certain schedules, particularly against their peers, which is actually the type of teams they need to be playing against, in July and November on an annual basis chess
Portugal upset Fiji to secure their first Rugby World Cup win (Getty Images)“In addition, the package that was agreed today provides for more crossover fixtures for what we used to call tier one and tier two fixtures in the years when this championship isn’t being played than is currently the case chess
So, 50 per cent more guaranteed crossover fixtures in those other years than is currently the case, in addition to guaranteed fixtures against their peers that they don’t currently have chess
“This is about looking at other years – traditionally what we have called ‘Lions years’ and the Rugby World Cup years – and populating those periods with fixtures that allow those possibilities and that the high-performance unions agreeing that some of their Rugby World Cup warm-up matches have to be against those other teams chess
”Bill Sweeney, chief executive of England’s Rugby chess Football Union (RFU), was later unclear on whether England would be open to touring or playing fixtures against emerging nations chess
He did, however, confirm that talks were underway over a fixture chess between a resurrected England ‘A’ and Portugal after a standout tournament for Os Lobos chess
“We’re all interested in growing the game globally,” Sweeney explained chess
“We saw Portugal here and Chile, they were great competitors chess
So we’re fully supportive of that chess
I think there’s a number of factors here that people should feel encouraged about in terms of emerging nations chess

Doubts have emerged over whether all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be able to play the next two or three matches for India after he suffered an ankle injury chess
India may have to go without the all-rounder for their important game against world champions England on 29 October in Lucknow city chess
Pandya may have to skip the next two or three matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as well, a source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has said chess
The star cricketer suffered an ankle injury while bowling against Bangladesh chess
He was sent for scans and has since been under the care of the BCCI’s doctors at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru chess
India, the hosts of the World Cup 2023, have won all five games in the tournament and are the only unbeaten side that already have a leg in the semi-finals chess
The side can afford to rest Pandya for the next two games at least, which will allow the all-rounder to recover fully before the knock-out round chess

While the swelling on his left ankle has subsided considerably, he will start bowling only towards the weekend chess
Right now, important is to give him time to recover,” the BCCI source told news agency PTI chess
“Pandya has suffered a bad sprain but fortunately not a fracture chess
The BCCI medical team wants to take maximum precautions chess
He is likely to miss the next two to three matches chess
The team wants him fully fit for the knock-out stage chess
”After the Bangladesh match, India captain Rohit Sharma said there was “no major damage” to Pandya chess
The all-rounder subsequently missed India’s match against New Zealand chess
To make up for Pandya’s all-round skills, India drafted Suryakumar Yadav and replaced Shardul Thakur with Mohammed Shami against New Zealand chess
While Virat Kohli ran Suryakumar for two runs, Shami, playing his first game of World Cup 2023, bowled a match-winning spell and became the first ever Indian bowler to claim two five-wicket hauls in a 50-over World Cup chess
With the Lucknow track expected to be slightly inclined to spinners, Team India could opt to bring in Ravichandran Ashwin instead of Shami chess
The move would also provide an extra batting cushion down the order chess
India is at the top of the World Cup 2023 table with 10 points chess
After the England game, the side is due to take on Sri Lanka on 2 November at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium chess
