This set contains all eight countries who played in the top division of the competition for countries outside the European 6-Country Tournament, with each having full team cards including try scorers lists and individual goal kicking ranges, and includes the tournament-specific control chart.
For the first time we've decided to rate this competition, and it saw a changing of the guard as Portugal won only their second title, ending Georgia's eight tournament winning streak, with a tense 19-17 victory in the Grand Final in Madrid.
Spain and Romania continued with the pair as the four semi-finalists, but it wasn't so straightforward, as Romania had a historic defeat to Germany in the pool stage. The Germans though collapsed from there, finishing bottom in the combined table to be relegated, as they had four straight losses, ended when already relegated, by a 76-7 loss to the Netherlands.
Switzerland meanwhile passed both by, defeating them both on the way to finishing sixth, and running Belgium close for a time in the fifth place playoff - a country who'd come within one score of making the 2027 World Cup only months before.
