Highlights | USA vs Kenya | Rugby World Cup Final Qualification tournament
Who Won the Rugby World Cup 2022?
The 2022 Rugby World Cup will be the tenth edition of the Rugby World Cup, and is scheduled to be held in New Zealand from 9 September to 21 October. This will be the second time that New Zealand has hosted the tournament, after previously hosting it in 1987.
Who Won the Rugby World Cup?
The 2019 Rugby World Cup was the ninth edition of the Rugby World Cup, and was held in Japan from 20 September to 2 November. The final was played between England and South Africa at Yokohama Stadium, with South Africa winning 32–12 to lift their third title. It was the first time the tournament had been held in Asia, and outside of rugby’s traditional heartland countries of Australia, New Zealand, Europe and South Africa.
A total of 20 teams qualified for the tournament; this included 18 sides that qualified automatically by virtue of their position in various world rankings, while two other teams—Japan and Russia—qualified through a repechage process after finishing third in their respective pools during the 2015 tournament.
England were favourites to win going into the tournament; they had won all four of their previous meetings with South Africa, including a 36–0 victory during their most recent encounter in 2018, and were unbeaten in 13 matches leading up to the final. However, they were ultimately outplayed by a disciplined South African team who dominated possession and territory throughout the match.
England scored first through an early penalty goal from Owen Farrell, but trailed 12–6 at half-time after tries from Makazole Mapimpi and Lukhanyo Am put South Africa in control. In the second half, further tries from Cheslin Kolbe and Makazole Mapimpi sealed victory for South Africa as they ran out 32–12 winners. It was only the second time that England had failed to reach the final (the other occasion being 2007), and marked South Africa’s first appearance in a World Cup final since winning back-to-back titles in 1995 and 1999.

Rugby World Cup Qualifiers
Rugby World Cup Qualifiers
The Rugby World Cup is the premier international rugby union competition. The tournament is contested every four years, and the qualification process determines which nations take part.
The current format of the Rugby World CupQualifiers began in 2007 and features eight teams competing for the final four spots in the tournament. The top two teams from each pool advance to the knockout stage, with the winners qualifying for the World Cup.
The first step in qualifying for the Rugby World Cup is to earn a place in one of five regional tournaments: Africa, Asia/Pacific, Europe, Americas or Oceania.
These tournaments are played every four years and provide an opportunity for nations to progress to the next stage of qualifying.
The second stage of qualifying is a series of intercontinental playoffs, involving the winners of each regional tournament. These playoffs determine which four nations will qualify for the Rugby World Cup.
Rugby World Cup 2023
The Rugby World Cup is an international rugby tournament contested by the men’s national teams of the member countries of World Rugby. The tournament has been held every four years since its inception in 1987. The most recent tournament was hosted by England in 2015, and won by New Zealand.
The next edition will be hosted by France in 2023.
The Rugby World Cup is a major event in the rugby calendar, and one of the largest sporting events in the world. Every four years, rugby fans from all over the globe descend on the host nation to watch their teams battle it out for rugby supremacy.
France will become just the second country to have hosted the Rugby World Cup three times, after England (who will host their fourth tournament in 2019). Australia, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa have all previously hosted two tournaments each.
The 2023 Rugby World Cup will be played across ten different venues in France, with games also taking place in Italy and Wales – making it the first time that matches will be held outside of France during a Rugby World Cup.
This is due to increasing interest from other nations wanting to host future editions of the tournament.
As well as being good hosts, France are also one of the favourites to win the trophy on home soil – something they’ve never done before despite reaching the final three times (in 1987, 1999 and 2011). If they are able to go one step further in 2023 then they’ll join New Zealand and South Africa as dual winners of rugby’s greatest prize.
World Rugby Rankings
The World Rugby Rankings are a ranking system for men’s national rugby union teams, administered by World Rugby. The rankings were introduced in October 2003. The aim is to produce an objective and reliable ranking of the world’s best international rugby union teams.
World Rugby uses a points exchange system, whereby nations earn or lose points based on the results of their matches. A team scores two points for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a loss. When calculating points exchanged, the home team is awarded an extra 0.05 points while the away team has 0.025 deducted from its total.
In addition, bonus points may be awarded or deducted depending on try-scoring and losing/winning margins.
The top 12 sides in the World Rugby Rankings are used to seed nations for the draw into each year’s Rugby World Cup tournament (with the exception of hosts Japan, who are automatically seeded into Pool A). The remaining places in the 24-team tournament are filled through regional qualification tournaments made up of lower-ranked nations (e.g., Oceania 2, Europe 3 etc.).
As of 18 March 2019, the Ireland national rugby union team are ranked first in the world by World Rugby with England second and New Zealand third.
World Cup 2022
The FIFA World Cup is an international football tournament held every four years. It is the most prestigious event in the sport, and attracts billions of fans from around the globe. The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar, making it the first time the tournament has been held in the Middle East.
This decision was controversial, as many felt that Qatar did not have the infrastructure to host such a large event. However, Qatar has since made significant progress in preparing for the World Cup, and it is expected to be a successful event.
Usa Rugby
Rugby is a sport that is played with an oval-shaped ball. Two teams of fifteen players each try to score points by carrying the ball across the other team’s goal line, or by kicking the ball through the other team’s goal posts. Rugby is a very popular sport in many countries, including England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.
The United States also has a large rugby community, with clubs and teams competing at various levels throughout the country.
Rugby was first introduced to the United States in 1874 by students at Yale University. The game quickly spread to other colleges and universities, and eventually became a popular club sport as well.
Today there are hundreds of rugby clubs across the country catering to all levels of play from beginner to elite.
The United States national rugby team has been competitive on the world stage for many years. In recent years they have qualified for both the Rugby World Cup and Sevens World Series tournaments.
The USA Eagles (as they are known) have also had success in international competitions such as the Churchill Cup and IRB Nations Cup.
Usa Vs Hong Kong Rugby
Hong Kong and the USA are two of the most popular rugby nations in the world. Both countries have a rich history in the sport, and both currently boast some of the best rugby teams in the world. So when it comes to a match between these two nations, there is always a lot at stake.
The most recent meeting between Hong Kong and the USA was in 2015, when Hong Kong won 27-24. This was a huge victory for Hong Kong, as it was their first ever win against the USA. The match was extremely close, and it could have easily gone either way.
However, Hong Kong managed to come out on top, much to the delight of their supporters.
There is no doubt that both Hong Kong and the USA will be looking to win when they next face off against each other. It promises to be an exciting match, and one that is sure to capture the attention of rugby fans all over the world.
