This Sunday, South America will witness the continuation of the Rugby World Cup 2027 Qualifying as Chile prepares to host Brazil in the thrilling final match of the Tri-Nations tournament.
Chile holds the 22nd position in the World Rugby rankings and is the third-highest-ranked team in South America after Argentina and Uruguay. Brazil is ranked fourth in the region. In an upcoming high-stakes match, Paraguay will face Colombia to determine the final participant in the tournament. Meanwhile, Chile and Brazil have a longstanding rivalry dating back 73 years to their first match in 1951.
Notably, hooker Simón Donoso will make his debut for Chile, joining the team as a replacement. However, some of Chile's overseas professionals will be absent, although exceptions include Martín Sigren and Santiago Videla, who compete in Major League Rugby, as well as Matías Dittus and Bruno Sáez.
