Après la Nouvelle-Zélande l’an passé, cette fois c’est le Canada qui va accueillir le WXV 1.
Après une affluence record enregistrée lors des World Rugby Pacific Four Series en 2023 et, grâce à la présence de l’équipe nationale dans le top 4 du classement féminin de World Rugby présenté par Capgemini, le fait d’accueillir la compétition annuelle la plus importante du calendrier féminin suscitera encore plus de passion.

Entre-temps, dans le sillage de la dynamique créée en 2023, le WXV 2 retournera en Afrique du Sud et le WXV 3 à Dubaï, offrant aux équipes un environnement de haute performance de classe mondiale.
Le tournoi de cette année débutera plus tôt afin d’aider à la planification des performances et à une meilleure préparation des fédérations pour l’édition féminine de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby 2025. Les trois niveaux joueront pendant les trois mêmes week-ends pour permettre aux six places de qualification d’être confirmées immédiatement après la fin du tournoi.
- WXV 1 – Vendredi, 27 – Dimanche, 29 septembre
- WXV 2 – Vendredi, 4 – Dimanche, 6 octobre
- WXV 3 – Vendredi, 11 – Dimanche, 13 octobre
Les qualifications 2024 sont lancées
Les qualifications pour le WXV débutent en mars, avec des fédérations du monde entier se disputant l’une des 18 places pour les différents niveaux, dans le cadre de leurs compétitions régionales.
Des matchs compétitifs lors de la dernière journée du WXV 2023 ont déterminé les positions régionales dans les trois niveaux pour 2024, à l’exception de la dernière place dans le WXV 3 qui sera déterminée par un match de barrage entre la Colombie (dernière du WXV 3 2023) et les Pays-Bas (l’équipe la mieux classée de la région alternative).
Sur la voie de l’édition féminine de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby Angleterre 2025
Quatre équipes ont déjà assuré leur place pour la Coupe du Monde de Rugby féminine 2025, après avoir atteint les demi-finales de l’édition précédente, disputée en Nouvelle-Zélande en 2022. Il s’agit de la Nouvelle-Zélande, championne du monde en titre, de l’Angleterre, championne des Six Nations féminines Guinness et du WXV, du Canada et de la France.
Six autres équipes se qualifieront en tant que vainqueurs de six tournois régionaux en 2024 (Championnat féminin Asia Rugby, Six Nations féminines Guinness, Championnat féminin Oceania Rugby, Pacific Four Series, Coupe d’Afrique féminine et barrage Sudamerica).
Les six dernières places seront attribuées aux équipes du WXV les mieux classées qui ne se sont pas encore qualifiées au travers de la RWC 2021 et des tournois régionaux décrits ci-dessus.
Une pause en 2025
Le WXV s’interrompra en 2025 pour l’édition féminine de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby en Angleterre, et un examen complet du tournoi sera entrepris avec les fédérations participantes pour s’assurer que, collectivement, le WXV continue à soutenir des objectifs de haute performance et commerciaux en préparation de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby féminine 2029 en Australie et au-delà.

4 Go to comments> It would be best described as an elegant solution to what was potentially going to be a significant problem for new All Blacks coach Scott Robertson. It is a problem the mad population of New Zealand will have to cope with more and more as All Blacks are able to continue their careers in NZ post RWCs. It will not be a problem for coaches, who are always going to start a campaign with the captain for the next WC in mind. > Cane, despite his warrior spirit, his undoubted commitment to every team he played for and unforgettable heroics against Ireland in last year’s World Cup quarter-final, was never unanimously admired or respected within New Zealand while he was in the role. Neither was McCaw, he was considered far too passive a captain and then out of form until his last world cup where everyone opinions changed, just like they would have if Cane had won the WC. > It was never easy to see where Cane, or even if, he would fit into Robertson’s squad given the new coach will want to be building a new-look team with 2027 in mind. > Cane will win his selections on merit and come the end of the year, he’ll sign off, he hopes, with 100 caps and maybe even, at last, universal public appreciation for what was a special career. No, he won’t. Those returning from Japan have already earned the right to retain their jersey, it’s in their contract. Cane would have been playing against England if he was ready, and found it very hard to keep his place. Perform, and they keep it however. Very easy to see where Cane could have fit, very hard to see how he could have accomplished it choosing this year as his sabbatical instead of 2025, and that’s how it played out (though I assume we now know what when NZR said they were allowing him to move his sabbatical forward and return to NZ next year, they had actually agreed to simply select him for the All Blacks from overseas, without any chance he was going to play in NZ again). With a mammoth season of 15 All Black games they might as well get some value out of his years contract, though even with him being of equal character to Richie, I don’t think they should guarantee him his 100 caps. That’s not what the All Blacks should be about. He absolutely has to play winning football.

1 Go to commentsAs a Crusaders fan , so disappointed , again.But I think Fergus Burke was all class for the Crusaders in his first game since October last year. Fletcher Newell , was so good at prop. Johnny McNicoll has been gold since returning from Wales. Noah Hotham brilliant , in a coming of age second season for the Crusaders.Jone Rova did really well at centre. The end of the game was tough.Sevu Reece , what a game/season in tough times.

3 Go to commentsBlues B team on display and made no race of it. By far the best team in SR with the Hurricanes barely getting past the winning post. Up the Blues 💙

3 Go to commentsThe Crusaders can't buy a win this season. Surely Penney's contract won't be renewed. There's still enough talent in the squad that they oughta be winning more.
1 Go to commentsABs captain for 23 seasons. Decent record. Surely nobody will surpass it. Legend. But alas a typo…
4 Go to commentsJust FYI Rugbypass, I for one am tired of your clickbait titles and thumbnails and will be clicking them no longer. Good day.
1 Go to commentsI think Farrell despite all of the stick he gets in the media is still one of if not the best fly half in the world. He is literally the full package. He can kick one of the best in the world, probably has the best defensive game of a fly half in the world and if he wants to he can run, take contact and find an offload to keep the pace of the attack. I dont know why he isnt spoken more about still being one of the best in the world with the likes of dupont. Farrell is the ultimate captain and team leader and is experienced- he has been in nearly any situation you can think of. I still believe due to these reasons that he is England’s best ever player and is still one of the best players in the world.
48 Go to commentsBlues are dominating up front and that’s been a long time coming. They have won the up front confrontation which is where canes, hilanders and act brumbies are also strong.
7 Go to commentsJust watched brumbies v safas game sadly not a show in he’ll thryr anywhere near quarters or semi contention. Admittedly some issues around new comers bot what stands out for me is coaching management, poor game planning and accuracy.
