Giovedì sera l'Uruguay dovrà battere la Nuova Zelanda di 80 punti se vorrà sperare nella qualificazione ai quarti
Pool A: both quarter-final spots and the other two 2027 qualification places are to be decided
-
France will top Pool A if they avoid defeat against Italy.
- Two losing bonus points would also be enough for
France to top Pool A providing Italy do not get a try-bonus point in victory (15 points to 14). France will finish ahead of New Zealand on the head-to-head rule if both end up on 15 points.
- A bonus-point win for
New Zealand will secure qualification for the quarter-finals. Even if France, Italy and New Zealand all finish on 15 points, the All Blacks have the better points difference (+133 to France’s +125 and Italy -14). Italy would then qualify in second ahead of France on the head-to-head rule.
-
Uruguay must beat New Zealand with a try-bonus point, and by at least 80 points, and will need France to defeat Italy in order to qualify for the quarter-finals.
-
Uruguay must beat New Zealand with a try-bonus point, prevent the All Blacks from taking any bonus point and hope Italy get something out of their game with France to finish third on the head-to-head rule with New Zealand to secure qualification for RWC 2027.
- A point will confirm
Italy’s qualification for RWC 2027.
