Sydney to host 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup final

Quote
The 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup will take place across seven cities in Australia with Sydney's Accor Stadium hosting the final.

The 83,000-seat venue hosted the nail-biting 2003 final, when Jonny Wilkinson's last-gasp drop-goal gave England their only men's World Cup win.

Sydney will also host two quarter-finals, the two semi-finals and the bronze final in the 24-team competition.

The other matches are spread across the country's major cities including Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle and Townsville.

"The Rugby World Cup is among the planet's biggest sporting events and Australia is incredibly excited to welcome the world to the 2027 edition," said Australia chief executive Phil Waugh.

"Taking the field for the final in 2003 was among the greatest honours of my career and I am delighted this generation of Wallabies will have the privilege of experiencing the emotion, excitement and joy of pulling on the gold jersey before our passionate fans at a World Cup in own backyard."

The tournament is set to start on 1 October 2027 with the final taking place on 13 November.

No surprises this week.
So Georgia, Spain, Portugal and Roumania are certain of qualification.

Next week sees the final round of pool matches, which determine the pairings for the knockout rounds, which determine who gets which place.

The remaining teams are not eliminated yet, they play-off for the Europe 5 ranking, which goes to the repêchage.

Georgia v Wales would be an interesting game at present. Although I suspect rather one sided.

An end of season friendly with Switzerland might be an opportunity to end Gatland's run at seventeen?

I'm rather hoping Gatland walks before then.

Every day he stays in post is another day's damage to his reputation.
