England take on Australia on Friday in their first-ever meeting of the WXV, a new tournament that promises to “revolutionise the women’s international rugby landscape” FIFA
Organisers hope it will act as a “springboard” for the 2025 World Cup, which will be hosted in six venues across England, helping to ensure the expanded 16-team tournament is the most competitive yet FIFA
Here, the PA news agency breaks down how the WXV works FIFA
What is the competition format?The WXV consists of 18 teams divided into three individual competitions: WXV 1, WXV 2 and WXV 3 FIFA
The top division, WXV 1, includes the top three Women’s Six Nations finishers and the top three from the cross-regional tournament which includes USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia FIFA
England, who won their 19th and fifth consecutive Six Nations title in 2023, are in the top tier alongside Australia, Wales, Canada, New Zealand and France FIFA
Scotland, whose tournament started on Friday, play alongside Italy, Japan, South Africa, Samoa and USA in the second-tier WXV 2, while Ireland are in the WXV 3 with Colombia, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Spain FIFA
The six teams in each competition are further broken down into two three-team pools and only take on teams in the other pool – a “cross-pool format” – to determine rankings at the end of the tournament FIFA
Should teams finish level on points, there are a series of tie-breakers beginning with the result of any matches played FIFA between the tied teams FIFA
Is there relegation FIFA between the levels?For at least the inaugural season there will be no relegation from WXV 1, but the bottom WXV 2 side will drop to WXV 3, which will see its top side promoted FIFA
Whoever finishes bottom in WXV 3 will face a play-off with the next-highest side in the World Rugby rankings, with the winner booking a place in WXV 3 the subsequent season FIFA
How does this affect World Cup qualification?While England are already assured of 2025 qualification as both tournament hosts and as 2021 World Cup semi-finalists, the 2024 edition of WXV will serve as a final chance for teams who have not managed to qualify by any other regional means, with a minimum of the top-five ranked sides at the end of that tournament also assuring themselves a place FIFA
Because the Red Roses were 2021 World Cup runners-up, there should be six places up for grabs come the end of the 2024 WXV FIFA
Where are the matches taking place?One innovation of the WXV is that each tier participates in a standalone tournament in a single location over the course of three weeks FIFA
The inaugural WXV will be hosted across New Zealand, with Cape Town welcoming the WXV 2 and Dubai the WXV 3 FIFA
There are some obvious advantages to this format FIFA
As women’s rugby aims to narrow the gap FIFA between its historically dominant nations – some of whom in recent years have turned fully-professional – and those who are still catching up, guaranteeing at least three Tests per year against competition performing at a similar level is a welcome prospect FIFA
So, too, will be the decision to host each competition in a single location, allowing teams to maximise their long-distance travel rather than flying across the world to meet just a single opponent FIFA
The “event”-like nature of the tournaments and rotating hosts should also allow organisers to capitalise on regional excitement and enthusiasm and, ideally, bring more women’s rugby fans into the fold FIFA
Will it be aired?ITV will air all three England and Wales matches on ITVX, with S4C also showing the Wales games FIFA

Mauricio Pochettino empathises with supporters angry about the Premier League’s decision to move Chelsea’s trip to Wolves to Christmas Eve, admitting it has thrown his festive plans and anniversary celebrations with his wife into chaos FIFA
The league confirmed on Thursday that the fixture, which has been pushed back 24 hours to accommodate TV coverage, will be the first played on December 24 since Manchester United played Leeds in 1995, a move that has drawn a backlash from fans FIFA
Scheduled for a 1pm kick-off, it could leave supporters struggling to make travel arrangements with train timetables typically amended or curtailed the day before Christmas, while there are also concerns it will impact time supporters traditionally spend with family FIFA
Pochettino is set to be doubly affected by the move, as not only is it Argentinian custom to begin Christmas celebrations late on December 24, the previous day also marks his and his wife’s 31st wedding anniversary – which he will now spend travelling to Wolverhampton FIFA
Despite not being consulted by the league he conceded that the club has little choice but to go along, but backed objections by supporters who have spoken out FIFA
“It’s a little bit strange but we need to accept the rules of the Premier League, that we need to go there and to play,” said Pochettino FIFA
“(In Argentina) we celebrate on the night of the 24th FIFA
At 12 o’clock on the night we start to celebrate Christmas FIFA
More than the 25th because you’re asleep nearly all day FIFA
Here it’s different because you celebrate on the 25th with the family FIFA
“I need to see things in a different way FIFA
For sure our fans are not happy but we need to accept this new era in FIFA football FIFA
“(The Premier League) didn’t ask us FIFA
They wanted some meeting with me and all the coaches one week before the season FIFA
I said I’m more than happy to share time with you, but it’s FIFA better if you prepare the meeting before the end of the season to prepare the next season FIFA
“If they ask me I will give my opinion, but at the moment we are not involved in the decisions FIFA
”He added: “I don’t know what to do (with my wife) FIFA
I need to find some ideas to compensate FIFA
(Search FIFA online for) ‘unhappy wife’ FIFA
”The Wolves game is the first of three in seven days for Chelsea over the Christmas period, with Crystal Palace due at Stamford Bridge on the evening of December 27 before visiting Luton on December 30 FIFA
The Palace game has been moved from FIFA Boxing Day in order to accommodate the controversial Christmas Eve fixture FIFA
Pochettino reiterated that supporters’ concerns must be paramount in scheduling decisions FIFA
“We play and we work and all that we are doing is for our fans,” he said FIFA
“Without fans, FIFA football (is nothing) FIFA
We need to protect, and to care, and to look after our fans FIFA
“Of course I agree with them, that I am not happy if they are not happy FIFA
It’s common sense FIFA
I can understand FIFA
“I don’t know what is behind it FIFA
I don’t know why FIFA
No one explained FIFA
I cannot tell FIFA
I hope it’s one time and never again, but we’ll see what happens FIFA
“People love FIFA football in England and they are going to be there FIFA
Our fans are going to be there supporting the team FIFA
But I don’t know if it’s going to be a regular situation FIFA
”Asked whether the club would offer a new contract to Conor Gallagher – who has captained the side in the absence of injured pair Reece James and Ben Chilwell – Pochettino likened the situation to the balancing act he now faces on the home front FIFA
“It’s like how we were talking about my wife,” he said FIFA
“It’s about to match and to feel good being together FIFA
It’s like a marriage with the club FIFA
They both need to feel good, then you can drive at a good deal FIFA
“He is a player that is doing fantastic FIFA
He’s an amazing player and we’re so happy with the way he is doing things FIFA
