Where can I bet on UEFA?

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

“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role EFL

” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it EFL

When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead EFL

Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit EFL

Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard EFL

With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward EFL

Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday EFL

Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the EFL football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” EFL

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for EFL

The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra EFL

“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch EFL

“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is EFL

The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it EFL

“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game EFL

”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever EFL

“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch EFL

“We needed to create a nice vibe EFL

Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate EFL

”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch EFL

The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece EFL

Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team EFL

They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 EFL

73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) EFL

They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final EFL

Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France EFL

Of course, they won a penalty from it EFL

Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard EFL

But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half EFL

Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole EFL

Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance EFL

They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 EFL

Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history EFL

Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler EFL

“That is the dark arts,” he smiled EFL

“It is hard to explain to you EFL

We had a plan for that EFL

We knew what we were trying to achieve EFL

“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit EFL

Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure EFL

Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can EFL

If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape EFL

”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups EFL

Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon EFL
