The next tournament will be held in France and the hosts will face New Zealand in a blockbuster opening match in Saint-Denis.
Chilli are the latest team to qualify after they overcame USA in a two-legged play-off.
The finals work the same way as the 2019 tournament with the first two teams in each pool progressing to the quarter-finals, which will be contested by knock-out matches.
If we suppose the top-ranked teams each win their pools and the second-ranked teams finish runners-up then the quarter-finals in 2023 could look something like this…
- Wales vs Japan
- South Africa vs France
- England vs Australia
- New Zealand vs Ireland
