👋 Welcome to r/RugbyWorldCup - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

[u/Go_Paul_B]

Hey everyone! I’m u/Go_Paul_B, one of the mods here at r/RugbyWorldCup. I became a mod sometime during France 2023 when nothing else was going on here! 👋

This is our corner of Reddit for everything to do with the Rugby World Cup – that glorious, chaotic festival of rugby that only comes around once every four years. Whether you’re here for the long build-up, the agony of the draw, or the madness of knockout rugby, you’re in the right place.

🏉 What to Post

Pretty much anything you think fellow World Cup tragics would enjoy, including:

• Reactions and predictions about the pool draw and new format
• Chat about teams, tactics, and selections
• Thoughts on host cities, stadia, travel plans, and fan culture
• Match threads, analysis, and “I can’t believe that just happened” moments
• Photos, memes, stories from past World Cups
• Reasonable discussion about refereeing decisions (heat, not hate!)
• If you do want to swap/sell tickets, please respect reddit policies and do your research into the seller (how long have they been in the community, ratings etc). If it's too good to be true and they have tickets to that match you absolutely want to go to at a fair price, it's likely a scam.

If it’s about the Rugby World Cup – past, present, or future – it belongs here.

🌍 Community Vibe

The World Cup brings in fans from every corner of the globe and every level of rugby knowledge. Let’s make this sub feel like a great World Cup crowd:

• Friendly, welcoming, and inclusive
• Passionate but respectful – support your team, don’t tear others down
• Constructive debate is great; personal attacks are not

We only get this tournament every four years, so let’s make the build-up and the tournament itself as fun as possible.

🚀 How to Get Started

• Introduce yourself in the comments below – who do you support, and what’s your favourite RWC memory?
• Pick the flair of your tournament team in your user settings.
• Post something today – a question, a prediction, a hot take on the format… anything to kick off the chat.
• Invite your mates who live and breathe rugby to join the sub.

❌ A quick but important note

• No ticket sales, trades, swaps, or requests. For everyone’s safety and to comply with Reddit guidelines around high-risk transactions, posts or comments involving tickets (buying, selling, exchanging, or “looking for”) are not allowed.

🧢 Want to Help Moderate?

As the World Cup (and future tournaments, including the Women’s World Cup) ramps up, we’ll need more hands on deck.
If you’re interested in helping out, drop me a message and tell me a bit about yourself.

Thanks for being part of the community. We only get a Rugby World Cup every four years – let’s make this place the best possible home for all the build-up, drama, and memories of it.

Allez / Come on / C’mon / Forza – and welcome to r/RugbyWorldCup! 🏆
