This year's set contains ratings for 22 of the 24 countries that qualified for the 2027 Men's World Cup (no Hong Kong or Zimbabwe), and are the same as last year's set. There is also an additional set of ratings for this year's Great Britain and Ireland team.
 
Countries included are: [Tier 1] Argentina, Australia, England, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Wales; [Tier 2] Canada, Chile, Fiji, Georgia, Japan, Portugal, Romania, Samoa, Spain, Tonga, United States, Uruguay. 
 
Because in their two qualifying matches Namibia scored only one try, we decided not to include them in this set, meaning their match against Italy is the only match involving a Tier 1 nation unable to be played with this set.
 
Samoa, Tonga and Great Britain and Ireland (home) and Portugal (away) have had estimated team ratings based on away and home figures respectively, as they each played only one qualifying match in that category.
 
All 23 countries have full team cards with try scorers (a few countries have some extra scorers who scored only in matches not included in the set) and individual goal kicker ranges, separate home and away team ratings, and with separate control charts for home-and-away and neutral venue matches.
 
There are 106 matches that are included in the ratings for this set, and you can either replay all the matches listed on the schedule sheet, or use some or all of them in league or cup competitions, as you see fit.
 
Despite losing the European 6-Country Tournament to France, England finished the year with an impressive 11-1 record, only being challenged by South Africa with their 12-2 record in 2025 that saw them win the Southern 4-Country Tournament.
 
Although they won the European title, with selection woes, France only won two of their other six Tests over the rest of the year. Fiji, Georgia and Uruguay had the best records among Tier 2 nations, while Canada only won once, but it got them into the World Cup, while Samoa had a dreadful year, drawing only with Chile, and having to then do the same to minnows Belgium just to make it to the World Cup.
