The tournament, hosted by New Zealand, will feature twelve teams from across the globe, battling it out for a place in the final on November 12th.
“We will be doing daily coverage of the tournament in a number of guises, from previews and analysis to some very exciting interviews,” explains Editor, James Price. He will be part of team of six producing content that covers all twelve teams competing in New Zealand.
The World Cup Daily Podcast will launch tomorrow with its preview episode, before daily coverage starts with analysis of matches on October 8th.
Imogen Ainsworth, Rugby writer for the Gazette said: “It’s been great to see the progression of the sport since 2017, and hopefully it will continue to go from strength to strength. I can’t wait to watch what will undoubtedly be a fantastic few weeks of rugby!”
