      RWC 2027 expanding to 24 teams

      World Rugby CEO Alan Gilpin explains the thinking behind the expansion of RWC 2027 and the qualification process.

      The winner of Sudamerica 2025 will get an automatic ticket to the showpiece event in Australia, with the runner-up and third-placed team having further opportunities to get there, too.

      For Sunday’s game, Chile had to make do without Rodrigo Fernández, Iñaki Ayarza and Diego Escobar, while Carlos Mignot, the Tupis’ new rising star, was required to play for his club, Biarritz.

      It took Chile 14 minutes to score their first try of the game, with wing Nicolas Garafulic squeezing past the Brazilian defence to dot down the ball in the corner.

      After 20 minutes, Brazil forced another penalty out of Chile and scored their first points of the game, thanks to the boot of Lucas Tranquez.

      With a few seconds to go to half-time, Chile turned up the pressure and boxed the Brazilians inside their 22. It ended up being a successful strategy as captain Martín Sigren crashed in for the second try of the game. Santiago Videla added the extras to give a nine-point lead to Chile.

      Shortly after the break, the Cóndores immediately went searching for a third try, making the best out of their set-piece. From a five-metre scrum, number eight Alfonso Escobar picked up the ball and offloaded it to Garafulic, with the wing diving in for a brace.

      In a 19-minute period of madness, there was a flurry of cards – Brazil received two yellows and a red, having already had one player sin-binned on the stroke of half-time. And briefly, it was 12 vs 14 as Chile also had a player yellow-carded, on 52 minutes.

      Chile made their numerical supremacy count in the last 10 minutes, expanding their lead with two more converted tries, scored by prop Matías Duttis and substitute scrum-half Ernesto Tchimino. Brazil bagged a consolation try, thanks to an unstoppable carry from lock Gabriel Paganini.

      'France may leave top players at home but will still be serious contenders in New Zealand'

      My name is Alan Criner, and I'm a resident of Toronto, CA. I'm a 45-year-old financial analyst who has always been cautious with my investments. However, in my quest to diversify my portfolio, I fell prey to a devastating fake crypto investment scam, losing 125,000 Canadian dollars' worth of Bitcoin. This traumatic experience sent my life into a downward spiral, leaving me depressed and feeling hopeless.

      Despite my repeated attempts to contact the account manager who initially approached me on Telegram, I was met with silence. They refused to provide any explanation or information, and I was locked out of my account on their website. The authorities were unable to assist me, as the scammers were untraceable.

      Just when I thought all was lost, my nephew, a Canadian government lawyer, introduced me to Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable private investigator and crypto recovery company. I visited their website (www . morphohackcyber . com) and, after mustering the courage, contacted them. They listened attentively as I recounted my ordeal and educated me on the scam, revealing that numerous others had fallen victim to the same scheme.

      Although skeptical at first, I decided to take a chance. Morphohack guided me through the process, instructing me to set up a new wallet. To my astonishment, they successfully recovered my stolen Bitcoin and transferred it to my new wallet. I was stunned, struggling to comprehend how this was possible.

      I initially wanted to keep this experience private, but I realized that there may be others out there who have suffered similar losses. If you're a victim of crypto theft, I urge you to reach out to Morphohack Cyber Service. They can be contacted through their website or email. (Morphohack@cyberservices . com, Info@morphohackcyber . com) Don't give up hope, there is a way to recover your stolen crypto assets.
