🚨 Rugby Shock: Paraguay Out of 2027 World Cup! 🚨
In an unexpected twist, Paraguay has been disqualified from the 2027 Rugby World Cup qualification. The South American team had initially celebrated a hard-fought victory over Brazil, securing what they believed was a ticket to the Final Qualification Tournament after a thrilling 70-43 win on aggregate. 🏉🇵🇾
But here’s where it gets dramatic: the Paraguayan Rugby Union discovered an ineligible player featured in both playoff matches! Rather than keeping quiet, they reported the violation themselves, which led to their removal from the competition. Talk about playing by the rules, even when it stings! 😬
So, what’s next? Brazil is ready to step in and seize this unexpected opportunity. They’re gearing up to face Samoa, Namibia, and Belgium in Dubai for a chance to compete in Australia 2027. 🌍✨ For both Brazil and Belgium, this could be a historic first-time qualification for rugby’s biggest stage!
Paraguay’s exit makes them the third team sidelined from the 2027 tournament, after Russia and Belarus, due to political sanctions related to the Ukraine invasion.
Mark your calendars! The draw for the 2027 Rugby World Cup is happening on 3 December 2025, featuring a thrilling new six-pool format. 👀 Will your team make it to the finals? Let the anticipation begin!
