World Rugby has finalized the match appointments for the November Internationals. The Americas will be heavily involved in the form of tours with Canada, the USA, Uruguay, and Chile all involved in the World Rugby Nations Cup in Europe and Argentina competing in the Nations Championship, also in Europe.
All five of the aforementioned Americas countries will compete at Rugby World Cup 2027. Argentina will play four matches while the other four countries all have three matches in November. It will be the final November window of international competition before the World Cup in Australia.
The appointments of match officials are displayed in full below. A difference in the match officials between the World Rugby Nations Cup and the Nations Championship can be seen. Argentina’s matches will all involve both a Television Match Official (TMO) and a Foul Play Review Officer (FPRO). The World Rugby Nations Cup matches will not involve a FPRO.
