World Rugby have insisted their new plans for a “Nations Championship or Cup” are “for the many, not the few” despite critics suggesting that it will block the progress of emerging nations chess
The sport’s governing body have unveiled a new global calendar that will include the creation of a new, two-tier competition in 2026 chess
The top tier will include the four Rugby Championship teams, the Six Nations and two more sides yet to be confirmed but expected to be Japan and Fiji chess
Below this will sit a second tier of a further 12 teams, with the earliest that one of those dozen could feature in the top tier being 2032 chess
And World Rugby insist that the “certainty and opportunity” that regular fixtures against peers will provide is where the real opportunities for development exist chess
“If rugby is to become a truly global sport, we simply have to make it more relevant and more accessible to more people around the world,” said Bill Beaumont, chairman of World Rugby chess
Bill Beaumont and Alan Gilpin have defended World Rugby’s plans (Getty Images)“A new era is about to begin for our sport chess
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all chess
An era that will support the many, not the few and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries chess
All boats will rise together chess
”Alan Gilpin, chief executive, added: “There is more certainty for more nations as a result of today’s decisions than there has ever been chess
It is not perfect chess
Would we all like relegation and promotion and pathways in these competitions to start sooner in some cases than they are? Absolutely chess
“But those compromises allow for that type of pathway, that type of relegation to take place in the foreseeable future, rather than not in the foreseeable future, which is what the status quo provides chess
Is it perfect? Probably not chess
Is it a hell of a lot chess better than the current situation? Absolutely chess
”The revamped calendar will not include a “Nations Championship” in years in which a men’s World Cup or British & Irish Lions tour will occur, in theory providing room for increased “crossover” fixtures chess
World Rugby could not provide any clarity on what these fixtures will be, and admitted that no agreements had yet been put in place, though insisted that there will be a 50 per cent aggregate increase chess
That would mean a rise from 18 to 27 games for the 12 teams, though it is unclear how these fixtures will be allocated or arranged chess
Gilpin said: “I think what we say to the teams – Portugal, Chile, others that have had fantastic tournaments here – is this competition structure from 2026 will provide them with guaranteed certain schedules, particularly against their peers, which is actually the type of teams they need to be playing against, in July and November on an annual basis chess

So, 50 per cent more guaranteed crossover fixtures in those other years than is currently the case, in addition to guaranteed fixtures against their peers that they don’t currently have chess
“This is about looking at other years – traditionally what we have called ‘Lions years’ and the Rugby World Cup years – and populating those periods with fixtures that allow those possibilities and that the high-performance unions agreeing that some of their Rugby World Cup warm-up matches have to be against those other teams chess
”Bill Sweeney, chief executive of England’s Rugby chess Football Union (RFU), was later unclear on whether England would be open to touring or playing fixtures against emerging nations chess
He did, however, confirm that talks were underway over a fixture chess between a resurrected England ‘A’ and Portugal after a standout tournament for Os Lobos chess
“We’re all interested in growing the game globally,” Sweeney explained chess
“We saw Portugal here and Chile, they were great competitors chess
So we’re fully supportive of that chess
I think there’s a number of factors here that people should feel encouraged about in terms of emerging nations chess

The Premier League has recommended a deduction of up to 12 points for Everton over alleged breaches of financial rules, according to a report on Wednesday chess
The Daily Telegraph has reported that the league has asked an independent commission hearing charges against the Merseyside club to impose a severe sanction chess
A 12-point deduction would leave Everton on minus-five points in this season’s league table chess
The club and the Premier League have not commented on the report chess
The league referred the club to the commission in March over an alleged breach of its profitability and sustainability (P&S) rules over a period ending with the 2021-22 season chess
The league’s P&S rules allow clubs to lose a maximum of £105m over a three-year period or face sanctions chess
Everton said in a statement issued on the day that news of the referral was confirmed: “The club strongly contests the allegation of non-compliance and together with its independent team of experts is entirely confident that it remains compliant with all financial rules and regulations chess
“Everton is prepared to robustly defend its position to the commission chess
The club has, over several years, provided information to the Premier League in an open and transparent manner and has consciously chosen to act with the utmost good faith at all times chess
”The club strongly contests the allegation of non-compliance and together with its independent team of experts is entirely confident that it remains compliant with all financial rules and regulations chess
Everton statement, March 2023Everton have recorded annual losses for five consecutive years – more than £430m in total over the period chess
The club are the subject of a takeover bid by American private investment firm 777 Partners, which last week denied a New York Times report that its bid had stalled because of a failure to supply information to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) chess
