World 12s is a new rugby union tournament for our changing fast-paced world. The world’s best players will be split into franchised teams and will compete annually around the world in an exciting 12 v 12 format. This reduced format will lead to a high scoring, high pressure and attractive rugby being played, whilst keeping the shape and a semblance of the structure of 15s. World 12s will also offer unprecedented prize money for the tournament winners.

World 12s will follow the current laws of 15s, but with a few exciting adaptations:
• 12 players in a team – six forwards and six backs
• 15-minute halves
• Conversions will be drop goals only
• Only one scrum reset, followed by a free kick
• Scrum infringements are penalised by a differential penalty (a penalty that cannot be kicked at goal)
• In the knockout stages, if matches are tied at full time, a golden point will decide the winner
Leading international players could achieve in excess of £250k
