Rugby World Cup 2027: Northern Hemisphere Win?
The Southern Hemisphere (South Africa, New Zealand) has dominated the Rugby World Cup, winning 9 of the 10 tournaments. This prediction asks if a European team (e.g., France, Ireland, England) will win the 2027 edition in Australia.
The Closest Gap in History
The vote is a dead **split**. While the South (Springboks/All Blacks) possess the pedigree and 'tournament DNA', the North (France/Ireland) currently boasts some of the strongest club leagues and depth of talent. The 2023 World Cup saw Northern teams narrowly fail in the quarterfinals. 2027 is seen as the best chance yet for the North to break the Southern monopoly, but the historical weight of Southern dominance keeps the forecast perfectly balanced.
