|December 04, 2025
England and Wales will clash in the group stage of the 2027 Men's Rugby World Cup.
The two nations were both named in Pool F for the expanded tournament in Australia, which for the first time will feature 24 teams.
England and Wales are joined by Tonga and Zimbabwe, while Ireland and Scotland will meet in Pool D along with Uruguay and Portugal.
Hosts Australia missed out on being among the top six teams in pot one and paid the price when they were paired with rivals New Zealand in Pool A.
