Chile Beats Samoa to Qualify for the 2027 Rugby World Cup

Chile secured their second consecutive Rugby World Cup appearance by defeating Samoa 31-12 and becoming the 23rd team to qualify for the expanded 24-team tournament.

  • On Saturday, Chile national rugby team secured a 31-12 win over Samoa national rugby team to qualify for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia after a 32-32 first leg draw.
  • With early control, Santiago Videla landed two opening quarter penalties for a 6-0 lead, and his brother converted to make it 13-0 in the match.
  • Key late plays saw Samoa score through Melani Nanai and Jonah Mau'u, but Santiago Videla's penalties and Nicolás Saab's 78th-minute try sealed Chile's win.
  • Samoa, meanwhile, heads to a four-team repechage in Dubai in November involving Belgium, Namibia and either Brazil or Paraguay for a final World Cup spot.
  • The Estadio Sausalito crowd created an intense atmosphere, so loud that referee Luke Pearce could not hear the TMO or assistants, while Chile built on earlier wins over Romania and Uruguay.
