World Rugby float plans for Six Nations match in US but England unlikely to participate

World Rugby is exploring plans to stage a Six Nations match in the United States, reportedly floating the idea of an Ireland v Italy fixture, and has offered financial incentives to unions to participate. However, England have effectively ruled themselves out, citing the high commercial value of home matches at Twickenham. The push is part of World Rugby's broader effort to raise the sport's profile in the US ahead of the 2031 Rugby World Cup, which America is set to host.
