The couple’s separation in 2014 was amicable, according to the Daily Mail, with Watson’s demanding work schedule cited as the primary reason. Despite their split, they remain friends.

Watson and Janney began dating in late 2013 and were first spotted together on a Caribbean holiday in January 2014.

“They seemed carefree,” a source told the Mirror at the time. “Matt was very attentive to Emma, often putting his arm around her. He acted like a gentleman throughout their time together. They appeared to be very much in love, constantly laughing and smiling.”

In 2015, Watson disclosed to British Vogue that she had undertaken a weeklong “silent retreat” amid the “horrendous” breakup with Janney.

“I felt really uncomfortable,” she shared about her single status. “Even before my relationship ended, I went on a silent retreat because I wanted to learn how to be comfortable with myself.”

During the draw, the 24 participating teams will be divided into six pools, each consisting of four teams. Notably, this draw will transpire before the regional qualifiers have concluded, resulting in a dual-world approach.

On one side, we have the twelve automatic qualifiers from the 2023 Rugby World Cup, confirmed by their names. On the other side, the regional qualifiers will be represented as Africa 1, Europe 1, Europe 2, and so forth.

Rugby World Cup 2027 is set to be hosted in Australia, marking the eleventh edition of the Men’s Rugby World Cup and the third time it will take place in Australia. The country previously co-hosted the inaugural Rugby World Cup with New Zealand in 1987 and served as the sole host in 2003.
