Georgia have been confirmed as one of the two World Rugby Nations Cup 2026 champions after securing top spot in Pool B with a round still to play.
Their 55-31 victory in Tbilisi, combined with Portugal’s defeat to Samoa in Lisbon, moved Georgia to 24 points and means they can no longer be caught at the top of the Europe, Asia and Africa pool.
USA now have the opportunity to follow Georgia’s lead and secure the second Nations Cup title. Victory over Romania in Bucharest would guarantee them top spot in Pool A, with the match currently in progress.
The World Rugby Nations Cup Trophies will be presented to the two champions on the final round on 20-21 November.
