The women have revealed an unchanged unit with just Shiray Kaka ruled unavailable as she nears the end of a lengthy recovery from her third ACL tear.

All seven of the Black Ferns Sevens members recently revelaed to be comitting to the upcoming Rugby World Cup have been named in the squad.

Sarah Hirini will again lead the team with Risi Pouri-Lane as vice-captain.

For the men, the return of Amanaki Nicole will come as a boost after missing the podium in all four events of the series so far. Dylan Collier returns as captain along with Sione Molia as vice-captain.

Akuila Rokolisoa, Xavier Tito-Harris, Lewis Ormond and Roderick Solo remain sidelined.

What The Rugby Championship needs to do to rival the Six Nations

It was the greatest Six Nations in the competition’s 26-year history. It might go down as the greatest rugby union tournament of any iteration, be that a World Cup, Rugby Championship, Tri-Nations or Heineken Cup. That is a very very bold statement. It was just phenomenal yes, but comparing it to even the 2023 World Cup is absurd.

Champ Rugby secures multi-year title sponsorship deal

Two things. Firstly how much is the sponsorship worth, and does it all go to the Championship ? Ridiculous to publish an article that doesn't give that information.

Secondly the Championship had an excellent, far better known sponsor in Greene King until Dollar Bill and O’Shea hatcheted the funding to the Championship. Good luck to the new sponsors - I hope it works for both parties. But let's not pretend this is a great leap forward.

What The Rugby Championship needs to do to rival the Six Nations

The rugby championship, and before then tri-nations has chopped and changed formats so many times, it’s been as many as 3 games against everyone, and as little as 1 game each, often in World Cup years. Even now the “mini-tour” innovation is a new one to help minimise the travel in the tournament, while still ensuring everyone gets enough home games to sell to fans.

The 6 Nations is uniquely blessed for such a tight geography and set of timezones, and there’s very little the Southern Hemisphere can do to combat this.

What The Rugby Championship needs to do to rival the Six Nations

Hard to disagree with anything said but the other problem that doesn’t go away is the time zone difference, and that introduces a challenge that isn’t easily addressed, as Super Rugby discovered. So it’s probably worth trying but there are no guarantees that the format will fly, at least not on a similar trajectory to the 6N.

So just remind me again, who exactly was Englands “big number 8” in the six nations that accounts for so many tackles not made?

Why England may be in better shape to win the 2027 Rugby World Cup than France

Didn’t someone bang on ad infinitum not too long ago about the exponential value and experience to be gained from winning Test matches away from home in preparation for the World Cup?

Now let’s see, France went one from two and won the championship while England were, let’s see, ZERO from three!

Why England may be in better shape to win the 2027 Rugby World Cup than France

This is all very glass half full but when you look at the cold hard facts you have to ask yourself where Englands defence will develop in the next 18 months? You also have to ask if 18 months and 15 or so matches is enough time to develop their attacking game under Borthwick. Clive Woodward had an awesome top class coaching staff with a squad that included top of class players right through the backs and forwards and world beating leaders. They were the envy of the World for the 2 or 3 years leading up to the 2003 world cup and scored wins in NZ and Australia before the tourney and away to South Africa a couple of years prior to that. This England side has no big match temperament, have not won away from home against any of the big sides including in France where they butchered 2 games in a row in the last 3 years. In NZ they also butchered a chance to win. When the pressure comes this team rarely finds a way to win. France have at least picked up wins in Ireland and at Twickenham. They havent covered themselves in glory on their southern tours but their impressive home record is in tact bar the loss to South Africa last year and the terrible loss to Ireland in 2024. France have an awe inspiring backline with magicians right through, they have plenty of power in forwards and world leading coaches. Add to that the brilliant Top 14 and I rate they are better off than the English. Sure they have their problems but I aint buying even the suggestion that England are better placed to win the showpiece than them.

Six Nations half-term report: 'France lead the charge in struggle for the soul of rugby'

“Or are you happy that there will become no distinction between forwards and backs in the future”?

Physically perhaps but the skill sets will always be different

It's not remotely silly. The boks disgraced us in the scrum in Nov and we’d 6 cards across the game.

That should be the mitigation when discussing a 30-40 PT win. They won by 11 PTS and had to resort to off the ball antics at 77 mins to run the clock and make the game safe

Yeah some sensible changes. It's never going to rival the 6N in terms of engagement, jeopardy and just pure animosity. There is great rugby rivalry between your nations but there isn't the same shared history of bloodshed and skulduggery.

It'd be cool to see the Boks and ABs go at each other over 3 tests. That would really stoke things up.

I'm saying there was no mismatch and yet a player was still millimetres from a clean neck break

Imagine it was a physical mismatch? It's common sense that there are minimum physical requirements in certain positions

Wallaby centre Josh Flook adds more Super Rugby experience to URC club

So no mention of the fact that the Reds and Treviso have a partnership? Or that Flook was there for 2 months or so at the start of the 25/26 seson? Yes he was injured and didn’t play, but it’s sort of relevant. Not a complete bolt from the blue announcement given the relationship and Menoncello being off.
