The World Rugby Cup is more than just a sports tournament, it is a global celebration of sport, culture and unity. The 2027 edition, which will take place in Australia, is set to be a historic one, if only in terms of the record number of nations that will take part, namely 24. Officially, this will be the first tournament to be held under the name of the Men&#8217;s Rugby World Cup, a name intended to encourage gender parity in rugby as well. The competition will be hosted by Australia, a country with a long rugby tradition. Matches will be held in several cities across the country, such as Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, allowing fans from all over the world to get in touch with the breathtaking landscapes and diverse culture of the Australian continent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Romanian fans too will be able to cheer for their team, after \u201cthe Oaks\u201d qualified to the World Cup over the weekend after securing their standing among the top two spots in Group B in Rugby Europe Championship. Last Saturday, Romania defeated Belgium 31-14 away from home, after, on Friday, January 31, they defeated Germany in Bucharest, score 48-10. Saturday&#8217;s match against Portugal, scheduled in Boto\u015fani, will decide the final group standings. So far, Portugal has defeated Belgium 40-30 and Germany 56-14.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cOaks\u201d will be take part in the Rugby World Cup for the 10<sup>th<\/sup> time. Romania has missed only one competition, the one in Japan, held in 2019, when our country was penalized for using an ineligible athlete in the preliminaries. Otherwise, the Romanian team\u2019s results were generally in line with expectations. In each of six of the tournaments they took part in, the \u201cOaks\u201d managed to win one match. The most impressive victory was the one in the 2015 edition in England, when Romania defeated Canada 17-15, a match in which Romania turned the score from 15 &#8211; 0 for Canada.
