World Rugby Explores Six Nations Match in US, England Opts Out

World Rugby is actively considering plans to stage a Six Nations match in the United States, aiming to capitalize on the growing commercial interest in the American sports market. The governing body has reportedly offered financial incentives to national unions to host fixtures abroad, as the US prepares to host the 2031 Rugby World Cup.

However, England has indicated it is unlikely to participate in such a venture, citing the significant revenue generated from matches played at Twickenham Stadium. This decision highlights a potential divergence in strategy among Six Nations participants regarding the expansion of the tournament's reach and commercial opportunities in new territories.
