World Rugby can confirm that the decision has been taken to implement water breaks at all Rugby World Cup 2023 matches this weekend, including tonight’s opening match.
Water breaks will operate midway through both halves at a natural break in play. The process will be managed by the referee.
All teams have been informed.
The process has operated at previous Rugby World Cups and across rugby more broadly when temperatures are hot or humid and is catered for in the tournament’s regulations.

The cricket pitch is 20.12 meters (22 yards) in length and 3.05 meters (3.33 yards) in width. The length of 22 yards is considered a chain, which was used as a standard of measurement for land during the 18th century. The chain is 1/10th of a unit of measurement called furlong, which is the average length of land that a team of workers could plough in one day.
