'Fancy seeing you here': Rugby legends reunite for RWC 2027
SOCIAL SPOTLIGHT: World Rugby is getting fans fully in the World Cup 2027 spirit with a playful new campaign teaser to celebrate the passion, pride and unity that rugby inspires across nations.
The teaser, featuring Jonny Wilkinson and George Gregan, has dropped on socials, drawing inspiration from the unforgettable World Cup 2003 Final in Australia when Wilkinson’s ice-cold drop goal broke Aussie hearts and fuelled one of the sport’s fiercest rivalries.
More than two decades later, the two rugby greats reunite to kick-start the journey to RWC 2027. The full campaign will be launched across broadcast, digital and social channels on December 2 – just on the day before the draw.
World Cup Australia 2027 Managing Director, Chris Stanley, said: “Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 promises to be the biggest and most electrifying tournament yet.
“The atmosphere, the rivalries, the national pride – this campaign captures that energy and invites fans everywhere to be a part of it”
