Rugby: The 2027 and 2031 World Cups are presented in Australia and the USA

(ANSA) – Rome, May 12 – World Rugby, the international organization of the Oval Ball, presents two editions of the 2027 and 2031 World Cups. In the first case, the World Championship tournament is hosted by Australia, which hosted the World Cup in 2031, which hosted the 2003 (when England won) the World Cup. He wrote a letter of support to World Rugby. Biden, who is of Irish descent, also telephoned to congratulate the Irish national team after their victory over the All Blacks in Dublin last November.

Australia and the US will host the Women’s World Cup in 2029 and 2033 respectively.

Next year’s Men’s Rugby World Cup, or Web Ellis Cup, will be held in France. Italy will play in the Iron Group, which includes New Zealand and France. (On the handle).
