World Rugby a dévoilé une nouvelle formule du processus de qualification pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby masculin 2027 en Australie (1^er octobre – 13 novembre 2027), le premier tournoi à réunir 24 nations.

Le nouveau processus de qualification, élaboré après une consultation avec les six associations régionales de World Rugby, découle de la décision du Conseil de World Rugby d’octobre 2023 d’étendre le tournoi de 20 à 24 équipes, visant à promouvoir la croissance mondiale du sport.

Il est également envisagé de relier le processus de qualification à la détermination des équipes participantes au lancement du Championnat des Nations Division 2 en 2026. Cela représenterait une opportunité sans précédent pour toutes les équipes qualifiées d’accéder à un haut niveau de compétition pour se préparer à un an de l’événement phare du rugby.

12 équipes déjà qualifiées

Alors que 12 équipes — France, Nouvelle-Zélande, Italie, Irlande, Afrique du Sud (championne), Écosse, Pays de Galles, Fidji, Australie, Angleterre, Argentine et Japon — se sont automatiquement qualifiées en terminant dans les trois premiers de leur poule à France 2023, les 12 autres équipes pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027 seront déterminées par le processus de qualification mondial.

The Pacific Nations Cup is coming | hype reel

The reimagined Pacific Nations Cup, a six-team annual competition featuring Canada, Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga, kicks off 23 August 2024. Watch it via your local broadcast partner or on RugbyPass TV.

Les six régions disposant chacune d’au moins une place de qualification directe, le nouveau processus comprend une combinaison de compétitions régionales existantes, via la nouvelle Pacific Nations Cup, un play-off transcontinental et un tournoi de qualification final. Voici comment les équipes se qualifieront dans chaque région :

Europe (4) – Les quatre meilleures équipes du Rugby Europe Championship 2025
Afrique (1) – Les champions de la Rugby Africa Cup 2025
Asie (1) – Les champions du Asia Rugby Men’s Championship 2025
Amérique du Sud (1) – Les champions du Sudamerica Rugby Championship 2025
Pacifique (3) – Les trois meilleures équipes de la Pacific Nations Cup 2025 (moins les Fidji et le Japon déjà qualifiés)
Barrage Amérique du Sud / Pacifique (1) – Le deuxième du Sudamerica Rugby Championship 2025 contre l’équipe la moins bien classée de la Pacific Nations Cup (à l’exclusion des équipes qualifiées)
Tournoi de Qualification Final (1)

Le Tournoi de Qualification Final prendra la forme d’un tournoi à la ronde où chaque équipe affrontera toutes les autres. Le vainqueur, déterminé par le nombre de points accumulés, se qualifiera pour la Coupe du Monde 2027 en Australie. Les quatre équipes participantes seront les suivantes :

Le troisième du Sudamerica Rugby Championship 2025
Le perdant du barrage Amérique du Sud/Pacifique
Le cinquième du Rugby Europe Championship 2025
Le vainqueur du barrage Afrique / Asie (vice-champion du Rugby Africa Championship 2025 contre vice-champion du Asia Rugby Championship).

Toutes les qualifications devront être terminées d’ici fin 2025, une première pour les Coupes du Monde de Rugby Hommes. Ainsi, les équipes qualifiées seront connues avant le tirage au sort de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2027, prévu avant le Tournoi des Six Nations masculin 2026.

Le nouveau format inclut six poules de quatre équipes et introduit un huitième de finale avant les quarts de finale. Cette réorganisation réduira la durée totale du tournoi de sept à six semaines, tout en maintenant un rythme soutenu durant la phase de poules et en conservant le même nombre minimum de jours de repos entre les matchs qu’à France 2023.

'Abyss of dismay': Owen Farrell branded a Top 14 transfer flop

It wasn’t for Carter, Rokocoko, Beale, Zebo or Nakawara, even for Tuisova or Fickou now, although it’s easier for them (Top14 knowledge or French).

And Finn Russell’s genius arose in Paris.

Whereas Sexton or Woki dropped down.

The team seems to be more of the issue, the coaching method (with Lancaster’s son potentially creating nepotistic frustration) and the role of Laurent Travers was not clear in the organization.

With still Le Garrec outshining everyone.

true, an empty seated Ellis Park does not exude much charm ..... the challenge is, to fill the stadiums in the club rugby competitions ....

Farell is not the greatest flop, he is injured currently, he was a ghost since the begining of the season, but the greatest flop, even anybody was waiting for a miracle, is the coach son, who play every game and is abyssal every time.

Ranked: The biggest stadiums in the Top 14

Nice comment about Occitanie region, so vocal few seem to realise this.

30k is a really nice stadium size, but it does bring in the conundrum that it loses appeal when the club turns to hard times, and isn't as popular. So 25k might be a nice middle ground. Where a lot of NZ stadiums sit.

hope for younger players like Mchunu (prop), Ludwig (lock), Buthelezi, Roos (forwards), Nohamba (scrum-half), Hooker, Julius (centers) and Davis, Hartzenberg (wings) being tested

Early April Fool's joke methinks. Marx and Koch, imo, are the only two genuine test level players amongst the current SA squad.

Three Springboks, three All Blacks named in L’Equipe's Best XV 2024

Clearly some bias in this selection but the fact that 3 SA players are included (non of whom are better than club rugby level players given neutral officials) makes it even more absurd.

Paris seems to be a difficult place for proven rugby greats .... Siya last year, Owen this season ..... not sure what the issue is, but Siya has been at his best (for the Boks at least ...) since moving away from Racing, which proves at least that it's perhaps not the players alone to blame

It's an open secret the rest of the world suffer from eating sour grapes. Wait I think there is a new rule coming this year: "The total scrum weight must be under 800kg."

'Abyss of dismay': Owen Farrell branded a Top 14 transfer flop

"He is certainly aggressive in the tackle but too slow in the offensive animation" this is exactly what you get with Farrell, surely this can't be a surprise?

Passionate leader, aggressive defender, excellent kicker, zero running threat, can't draw defenders, constantly squanders attacking ball with speculative kicks because he can't run or draw defenders, has only ever performed in teams with dominant packs.

The Fergus Burke test and rugby's free market

I can guarantee that none of the three would have got a chance with Ireland in the state they arrived from NZ.

Why would you think they would?

Two of them were at Leinster and were bench-warmers when they arrived

Sometimes you can be beyond stupid JW.

Haha look who's talking! Hello? Can you just read what you wrote about Leinster to yourself again please lol

It took prob four seasons to get James Lowe's defence up to the required standard to play international footy. If Jacob Stockdale had not experienced a big slump in form he might not have gotten the chance at all.

I'm really not sure why you're making this point. Do you think Ireland are a better team than the All Blacks, where those players would have been straight in? This is like ground hog day the movie with you. Can you not remember much of the discussions, having so many readers/commentors? Yup, 26/7/8 would have been the perfect age for them to have been capped by NZ as well.

Actually, they would obviously have been capped given an opportunity earlier (where they were ineligible to for Ireland).

TTT, who was behind JGP at the Hurricanes, got three AB caps after a couple of further seasons acting as a backup SR player, once JGP left of course. In case you didn't see yourself contradicting your own comments above, JGP was just another player who became first choice for Ireland while 2nd (or even 3rd/outside the 23 in recent cases) for Leinster. And fair enough, no one is suggesting JGP would have surpassed TJP in three or four years either. He would have been an All Black though, and unlike in your Leinster example, similar performances from him would have seen TJP move on earlier to make way for him. Not limited him like he was in Ireland. That's just the advantage of the way they can only afford so many. Hell, one hit wonders like Seta Tamanivalu and Malakai Fekitoa got rocketed into the jersey at the time.

So not just him. Aki and Lowe both would have had opportunities, as you must know has been pointed out by now. It's true that the adversity of having to move to Ireland added a nice bit of mongrel to their game though, along with their typical development.

Aki looked comfortable as the main 12 in his first two seasons, he was fortunate SBW went back to league for a season you could say, but as a similar specialist he ultimate had to give the spot back again on his return. There's certainly no doubt he would have returned and flourished with coachs like Rennie, Wayne Smith, and Andrew Strawbridge, even Tom Coventry. All fair for him to take up an immediate contract instead of wait a year of course though.

It's just whatever the point of your comments are meant to make, your idea that these players wouldn't have achieved high honors in NZ is simply very shortsighted and simplistic. I can only think you are making incorrect conclusions about this topic because of this mistake. As a fan, Aki was looking to be the Nonu replacement for me, but instead the country had the likes of Laumape trying to fill those boots with him available. Ditto with Lowe once Rieko moved to center.

The Fergus Burke test and rugby's free market

Maitland was first capped by Scotland in 2013, he was playing for Glasgow at

the time. He didn't move to England , with London Irish initially, until 2015. Interestingly the BBC article on his retirement mentioned he won 53 caps ' for his country', since he only lived in Scotalnd for 3 years to call Scotland his country seems a stretch. I have no problem with players switching countries or having multiple eligibility but some of the recent switches are farcical. CJ Stander? To call him Irish is laughable. If it is indeed representative rugby , the players should at least by citizens on the country they 'represent '. SA has that rule and France did until recently, if the government doesn't consider you part of the country then how can you represent them?
