England Dominate… Kind Of
According to the AI, England will win three of the next ten Men’s Rugby World Cups. That's right — the Red Rose is expected to reclaim rugby glory, adding to their sole triumph from 2003. But it’s not all about England. There are some other seismic shocks in store.
Familiar Faces and First-Time Champions
New Zealand and South Africa also make strong showings, with the All Blacks being tipped to maintain their stranglehold on world rugby by winning several more titles. Meanwhile, Ireland, the team that has so often flirted with World Cup glory but fallen short, is predicted to secure their first-ever Webb Ellis Cup victory — though by the time it happens in 2063, most of today's fans might be cheering from the heavens!
Check out the AI-predicted winners and start planning your celebration (or commiseration) parties:
