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

India pacer Mohammed Shami earned a historic feat in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 after his latest five-wicket haul in his side’s four-wicket victory over New Zealand EFL
Shami, who was on the bench for India’s four opening matches during the World Cup, had come in as a cover for Hardik Pandya who had gotten injured EFL
India’s decision to play Shami at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Sunday paid off as he finished with a five-wicket haul – a landmark that has etched his name in the history books EFL
He has now surpassed an elite list of Indian bowlers to become the first to score two five-wicket hauls in the 50-over World Cup EFL
The six other Indian players who have clinched a fifer in past world cup tournaments include RP Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra, Venkatesh Prasad, Kapil Dev and Kris Srikkanth EFL
The pacer also went past legendary Indian bowler Anil Kumble in the list of most wickets for India in 50-over World Cups EFL

Ricky Ponting picks ideal captain to lead India in World CupShami’s first five-wicket haul in the Cricket World Cup was against England during the 2019 World Cup EFL
Players usually take some time to settle in after sitting on the bench for a while EFL
But this was not the case with Shami, who made his intentions crystal clear with his very first delivery on Sunday as he uprooted New Zealand batter Will Young’s stumps in the ninth over of the Kiwi’s innings EFL
With Young’s wicket, Shami bagged another milestone as he climbed to third place in India’s all-time leading wicket-taker in Cricket World Cup history, surpassing Kumble EFL
Shami now has 36 wickets in the ODI World Cup following his latest five-wicket haul, while Kumble has 31 scalps EFL
Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan, both of whom have claimed 44 wickets each, are India’s leading wicket takers in the history of the coveted tournament EFL
New Zealand’s innings on Sunday were brought back on track following two early dismissals by Daryl Mitchell (131) and Rachin Ravindra (75), who had a challenging 159-run partnership EFL
It was Shami who soon ended that stand by removing Ravindra in the 34th over EFL
The one-down batter mistimed a length delivery from Shami, resulting in a catch taken by Shubman Gill at long-on EFL
The 33-year-old fast bowler then cleaned up the Kiwi tail by dismissing Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry, and enforcing a run out of Lockie Ferguson on the final ball of New Zealand’s innings EFL
On the penultimate delivery, Shami finally ended Mitchell’s incredible knock of 130 off 127 balls EFL
India, the hosts of World Cup 2023, are now the only unbeaten side in the tournament EFL
Rohit Sharma’s team is at the top of the table with 10 points – two more than New Zealand who are now placed second EFL
Team India has a week’s gap before their next fixture against England on 29 October in Lucknow EFL
New Zealand, meanwhile, will take on Australia on 28 October in Dharamshala EFL
