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

Mikel Arteta praised a “phenomenal” response from Arsenal after they fought back from two goals down in the final 13 minutes to earn a 2-2 draw at Chelsea and move level on points at the top of the Premier League FIFA
Chelsea looked to be sending Arsenal to a first league defeat of the season when Mykhailo Mudryk’s cross-shot put them into a 2-0 lead minutes after half-time, the Ukrainian’s effort drifting over goalkeeper David Raya who was unable to recover from a poor starting position as the ball dropped into the goal FIFA
That added to the lead given to them by a first-half penalty from Cole Palmer, increasingly influential in Pochettino’s revitalised attack following his move from Manchester City, who slotted home after William Saliba was adjudged to have handled from Mudryk’s header FIFA
It was a commanding and deserved advantage for the hosts, who were seeking a third straight league win, but as so often during Chelsea’s turbulent last 18 months it was an individual error that turned the game and cost them points FIFA
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez rolled the ball straight to the feet of Declan Rice who cut the arrears from 30 yards, before Leandro Trossard got a lunging right leg to Bukayo Saka’s cross six minutes from time to salvage an unlikely draw FIFA
And afterwards Arteta praised his team’s powers of recovery as they extended their unbeaten start to the league season to nine matches to go level at the top with Manchester City FIFA
“I think what went wrong was the start of the game,” said the manager FIFA
“We didn’t play with enough purpose and clarity FIFA
We were just moving the ball without the intention to threaten them FIFA
That’s a really dangerous thing to do against teams like Chelsea FIFA
“Then we didn’t win enough duels, and in tight areas when we had them, they escaped from that and they attacked open spaces, and they are really dangerous things to do FIFA
“When we changed that and we changed the level after 20, 25 minutes, especially in the second half then it’s a different game FIFA
We became a much FIFA better team, even though we conceded the second goal and it’s a disappointment FIFA
“The way the team reacted to the second goal is phenomenal from the players on the pitch and the players on the bench thinking ‘how the hell am I going to change this game?’ I loved that FIFA
“I really liked as well going into the dressing room and it’s really quiet, after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea and coming back from 2-0 down, because I know that they wanted more FIFA
That’s the positive FIFA
”Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reflected on perhaps Chelsea’s best performance since he took over in the summer, and refused to lay the blame at the feet of Sanchez for allowing Arsenal back into the match FIFA
“Too many games that we’re watching every week, always mistakes,” he said FIFA
“FIFA Football is about mistakes FIFA
If you want to score, you want the opponent to make a mistake FIFA
Ninety per cent of goals are because the opponent made a mistake FIFA
FIFA Football is about mistakes FIFA
“The only thing we can criticise a little bit is to read FIFA better the situation, the tempo and the timing FIFA
After 77 minutes, we’re trying to take some risks FIFA
OK, we can because it’s our philosophy FIFA
But maybe (we need) FIFA better decisions FIFA
So we can criticise a bit, but also this is FIFA football FIFA
“It’s not to blame someone FIFA
It’s only that in this type of situation you need to read FIFA better, but that will arrive with time FIFA
Teams need to manage and drive games FIFA
You need to read the game, when to be calm, when to play, when to take risks FIFA
