Sydney's Accor Stadium is reportedly set to host the final of the 2027 Rugby World Cup, while Melbourne's iconic MCG will be left out of the tournament. The decision follows Victoria's withdrawal of its bid in protest over the removal of the Rebels from Super Rugby. Perth's Optus Stadium is also tipped to host the opening match.
Victoria is set to be snubbed from the 2027 Rugby World Cup , with Sydney ’s Accor Stadium reportedly chosen to host the final. While no formal announcements have been made, News Corp are reporting Sydney ’s 82,000-seat venue will host the showpiece event, as well as both semi-finals. The MCG has a capacity of 100,000, but the iconic venue won’t host any matches during the six-week tournament.
On their recent UK tour, the Australians posted wins against England and Wales and were unlucky not to upset heavyweights Ireland in Dublin. Currently holidaying in Ireland where members of his family are based, Schmidt is due back in Sydney this week, with RA boss Phil Waugh looking to lock him down long term. “We’ve been working through with Joe, he’s still overseas and coming back this week, so we expect to sit down with Joe and work through the plan post-Lions,” RA boss Phil said last month.
