England among 12 teams to automatically qualify for 2027 Rugby World Cup

Semi-final: England v France (or South Africa)

If the French can secure victory against South Africa in the quarter-finals, they will face England in Paris in the next stage. Despite Dupont’s injury, he will be available for the match. However, England might capitalise on a fatigued French team that expended every ounce of effort to eliminate the Springboks in the previous round.
