Giant-slayer Japan faces a tough road at the Rugby World Cup

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:24 GMT

Japan has been a fan favorite at the last two Rugby World Cups for its underdog victories over top-tier teams.Its win over the Springboks in 2015 has passed into lore (and a movie) as the Miracle of Brighton and its victories over Scotland and Ireland in 2019 caused jubilation in a World Cup hosted by Japan.As the Brave Blossoms head into the upcoming edition in France, they do so with opponents alerted. They no longer have the advantages of surprise or underestimation.At the same time, they come into the tournament on a run of poor form, having won only one of four tests this season and only four of 18 tests since hosting the last World Cup.Rugby in Japan has gone through foundational changes since 2019, designed in part to capitalize on the success of the World Cup which won over a broader domestic audience.The inauguration of Japan League One as successor to the former Japan Top League as the professional domestic competition has attracted some of the world’s best players a...

Slumping England heads to Rugby World Cup with big players suspended and as a title outsider

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:24 GMT

Rarely has England gone into a Rugby World Cup with so little external expectation.Three times a finalist — and once a winner — in the last five editions of the tournament, the English have long been Europe’s big hope on the global stage and the team that most concerned the big guns from the southern hemisphere.No more.Overtaken by Ireland, France and — whisper it — Scotland since the 2019 World Cup, England is run by the world’s richest rugby union but currently doesn’t have elite-level players or coach to show for it.Steve Borthwick is the man in charge following the departure late last year of Eddie Jones, the colorful Australian coach with whom the Rugby Football Union and seemingly England’s players ran out of patience.Borthwick was solid if unspectacular as a player, more of a workhorse than someone with a highlights reel on YouTube. Conservative can best describe his approach as a coach, too, and his kick-pressure game plan is hardly making England’s class of 2023 a must-watc...

Eddie Jones says slumping Australia can win the Rugby World Cup. He’s serious.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:24 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Never has any team heading into a Rugby World Cup been in such a “good place” without having won a game all year.Except — maybe — in the mischievous eyes of Australia coach Eddie Jones.On naming a youthful and inexperienced 33-man squad with three uncapped players, no Michael Hooper and one specialist flyhalf who was not named Quade Cooper, Jones said, “This squad is good enough to win this World Cup and possibly go on to win the next World Cup.” His tongue wasn’t firmly in his cheek. “That’s the advantage of picking young guys. The experts have written us off. No one believes we can do it, but we believe.”Those comments were made before the Wallabies lost their fifth in a row, 41-17 to World Cup host France at Stade de France, where Australia will open its World Cup campaign against Georgia on Sept. 9. Wales, Fiji and Portugal are also in the Wallabies’ pool.Jones was still upbeat, though, after being swept in the Rugby Champ...

Gatland faces big challenge to take Wales deep again at the Rugby World Cup

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:24 GMT

Warren Gatland is convinced his Wales team will pull off “something special” at the Rugby World Cup.Finding any evidence to back up that bold assertion isn’t easy.The Welsh have won just five of their 20 games since the start of 2022. They’ve plunged to No. 10 in the world ranking, tied for their lowest all-time spot. Many of their stalwarts such as Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric are no longer around. Captain Ken Owens is out injured.Their last result before heading to France? A 52-16 drubbing by South Africa, marking the first time Wales has conceded more than fifty points in a game across Gatland’s two spells in charge.So, where is his optimism coming from?“I love Wales being written off,” Gatland said, “and people can keep doing that because it just makes us stronger.”Maybe it’s the inner belief Gatland has as one of the great coaching minds of his generation.Maybe it’s the fact that Wales under Gatland has reached the semifinals in two of the last three World Cups, and ...
