Will Europe Lose the 2027 Rugby World Cup?
Historically, the Rugby World Cup has been dominated by the Southern Hemisphere — New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia. Europe’s recent rise (England and France) has added parity, but the giants remain strong.
Why Most Expect a Non-European Winner
New Zealand’s depth, South Africa’s physical dominance, and Australia’s host advantage make a European champion an underdog scenario. The consensus strongly leans toward another Southern Hemisphere triumph.
