The Rugby World Cup draw for the 2027 World Cup took place on the 3rd of December this year. It was done 2 years in advance of the actual tournament but has still been the cause of excitement across the globe. This is the first edition of the tournament to be contested by 24 nations (up from 20) which means that there will be an added knockout round as well as more jeopardy for "Tier 2" nations in the groups. Here are some of the biggest winners and losers from the draw.

These changes have been widely derided, and it remains to be seen if they are to be successful, but I'll try to explain exactly how things will look going forward.

About this blog.
Welcome to 'All Things English Rugby', your go-to source for comprehensive coverage of English rugby union. My blog is dedicated to providing fans and enthusiasts with the latest updates, detailed match analysis, and insights from the English Premiership. I understand the passion and excitement surrounding the sport, and my mission is to bring that same intensity to my readers through engaging content. With this blog I aim to introduce new fans, or fans who only watch international rugby, to English rugby more generally. Once fans learn more about the teams, I want to provide a cohesive narrative of the premiership season to keep audiences engaged in the game every week rather than only during the Six Nations Championship.
