Rugby World Cup draw: England to face Wales in 2027 pool stage

England and Wales will meet in the 2027 Rugby World Cup pool stage, with Tonga and Zimbabwe making up the remainder of Group F.

It will make the first time the two nations will meet at the men’s Rugby World Cup since 2015, when Wales ran out 28-25 victors.

The next men’s Rugby World Cup will expand for the first time since 2003 to be the biggest tournament in its history — seeing a record 54 matches.

The eventual winners will have to play seven games to lift the Webb Ellis Cup, although it will feature one less pool-stage game and one extra knockout game.

The tournament is scheduled to begin on Oct. 1 at Perth Stadium and will finish on Nov. 13 at Stadium Australia in Sydney.
