Le WXV, la nouvelle compétition annuelle mondiale à trois niveaux du XV féminin de World Rugby, devrait permettre de dynamiser le rugby féminin en donnant aux équipes nationales la possibilité de disputer un plus grand nombre de matchs de haut niveau.

Trois niveaux, 18 équipes, 27 matchs

Cette nouvelle compétition sur le calendrier international tombe à point nommé pour bien lancer le cycle des deux ans avant la prochaine échéance mondiale qui se déroulera en Angleterre du 22 août au 27 septembre 2025 avec 16 équipes, alors qu’on n’en comptait que douze dans les éditions précédentes.

La création du WXV sur trois niveaux – WXV 1, WXV 2 et WXV 3 – participe de cette anticipation, chacune des six équipes de chaque division devant disputer trois rencontres.

En France, les rencontres du WXV 1 seront diffusées sur TF1 alors que celles du WXV 2 et du WXV seront disponibles sur RugbyPass TV.

Le WXV 1 regroupe en Nouvelle-Zélande l’Angleterre, la Nouvelle-Zélande, la France, le Canada, l’Australie et le Pays de Galles.

Le WXV 2 se joue en Afrique du Sud entre les USA, l’Italie, l’Ecosse, le Japon, l’Afrique du Sud et les Samoa.

Enfin, le WXV 3 regroupe à Dubaï l’Irlande, l’Espagne, le Kazakhstan, les Fidji, le Kenya et la Colombie.

'The World Cup... I'm not sure it's going to happen for them'

Well, currently the biggest rugby stars from other countries are not really playing in France, except for Argentinian players (Mallia, Chocobares, Kremer, Oviedo, Petti, Lavanini, Carreras) or Fijian ones (Tuisova, Dakukaqa, Waniqolo) . This time is over.

You have great players that usually choose to cease playing for their countries like Ludlham, Sinckler, Farrell(who's been a shadow at Racing 92), Fainga'anuku, Marchant, the Kpoku brothers, Arundell, Ribbans or declining stars like Biggar, Kerr-Barlow, Radradra, Botia, Goodhue, the Vunipola brothers, Hogg or Manu Tuilagi. Not exactly first choices or guys who make the best international XV.

The exceptions being Arata, Skelton, Jack Willis, Cappuozzo (he's French but plays for Italy), Niniashvili, Staniforth, Ahki, Tameifuna, Nicotera, Garbisi, Ioane, Lucchesi, Kinghorn, Ben White or Saito. Not many of them from SA, NZ, Ireland or England or close to top 3 in their positions.

When Kolisi or Etzebeth played in Top14, despite the big bucks, it wasn't shiny performances at "lower level games", as well as Kolbe at Toulon after his extraordinary stunt at Toulouse. Whitelock was at the end of his career.


I think you've mistaken the big bucks low level league with Japan Rugby League One stars welcomed at their prime (Mo'unga, de Klerk, Matera, PSDT, de Jager, Mostert, Kolbe, Kriel, Barrett, Savea, Cane, Koroibete, Perenara, Kwagga Smith, de Allende, Kolbe, Wiese, Marx) because it pales a bit. 12 of of the 30 players that started the RWC final play in Japan. With a maximum of 16 games/season. In France it's up to 29 to be get the Top14 title, plus the Champions Cup.

Try to keep up the rythm with more than twice as many games.

I guess you've read their interviews on the intensity of Top14, right? Right?


The biggest Top14 stars are in great majority French players, because the JIFF policy has changed the way French clubs operate.

The era of Carter, Botha, Wilkinson, Kaino, Smith or the others mentioned before is over.
