Parameters
[edit]The following may be supplied before the tournament is over:

{{ru}}template here will automate the display of national flags (where appropriate) and create Wikilinks to national team articles. - matches - The number of matches currently completed.
- attendance - The total number of spectators who have attended matches to date.
- preceded by and succeeded by - links to articles on the prior and next tournaments.
Once the tournament is finished, the following may be supplied.

{{ru|ENG}}or{{ru|WAL}}. - top scorer and most tries - the individual players who scored the most points overall and the highest number of tries.
