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

This is not the end but it is an end for Frankie Dettori EFL
The 52-year-old jockey is bowing out of British racing, riding his final races on the rather apt Champions Day at Ascot EFL
Dettori has more than 3,300 career wins to his name, over a remarkable 35-year career, but none will feel sweeter nor more precious than a win in the Champion Stakes on Saturday EFL
He rides King of Steel in what will be his last race in front of a British crowd and goes up against strong opposition with last year’s winner Bay Bridge, French challenger Horizon Dore and Royal Ascot victor Mostahdaf all impressive competitors EFL
This will not be an easy race to win and Dettori is unlikely to set off as the favourite – though nostalgia and a sense of occasion may play its part in the EFL betting EFL
Beforehand, Dettori has four other opportunities to sign off in style as he rides Trawlerman in the Long Distance Cup (1 EFL
15pm), Kinross in the Champions Sprint (1 EFL
50pm), Free Wind in the Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (2 EFL
25pm) and Chaldean in the Queen ElizaEFL beth Stakes (3 EFL
05pm) EFL
So, five more rides at Ascot, five final attempts at glory on British soil EFL

He has already achieved the perfect send-off, racing to victory atop Courage Mon Ami in the showpiece Gold Cup at Royal Ascot back in June EFL
"Unbelievable! I thought it was a bridge too far from handicaps, but I had the perfect race," a jubilant Dettori said after claiming a ninth Gold Cup victory that day EFL
"I didn’t expect it EFL
” He added EFL
“The last five years I had Stradivarius so the pressure was on, this one I thought was a bit of a chancer EFL
"I rode him cold and it just happened EFL
I got the splits when I wanted to and he showed a turn of foot EFL
Nine Gold Cups, what can you say? I’m speechless, to be honest EFL
"That triumph, at the same course as Saturday’s races, returned to a tremendous reception for the cheekily natured Dettori who even gave the Queen a kiss at the presentation ceremony EFL
It will last long in his memory and be the pinnacle of a year-long curtain call for the Italian who insists that his final races in Britain will be at Ascot this weekend EFL
Dettori won his ninth Gold Cup at Royal Ascot earlier this year (REUTERS)However, plans of retiring from the sport are on hold for the time being EFL
After the British season is over Dettori is heading to California to continue his career in the United States EFL
"I don’t feel ready to let go yet,” he explained after deciding to postpone his retirement EFL
“I’m going to spend some time in the USA and take it from there EFL
I could be there three months or three years, I don’t know EFL
"It was a long, hard decision with myself and my wife EFL
It’s a big decision to move to another country EFL
"Yet, he is saying farewell to British racing at a racecourse that already celebrates him, with a statue no less, on Saturday EFL
The twinkle in his eye is on display one more time, perhaps there’ll be a flying dismount to mark the occasion or even a last Champions Day success for the finally departing champion EFL
