The Crusaders are aiming to claim a ninth title, and second successive triumph over the Lions, after defeating them in the 2017 final. Inspired by top points scorer, Richie Mo’unga, the New Zealanders defeated the Sharks and Hurricanes in the qualifiers and semi-finals respectively.

The Lions, with top scorer Elton Jantjies, are appearing in their third consecutive final after losing out to the Hurricanes in 2016, and suffering the same fate to the Crusaders last season. The South Africans overcame the Jaguares in the qualifiers before powering to victory against the Waratahs in the semi-finals.

New Zealand teams have dominated the championship since the inaugural season in 1996, winning 15 of 22 titles.

June 13, 2018 -- A combined “United” bid from the United States, Canada, and Mexico has won the right to stage the biggest World Cup ever held – with 48 teams playing 80 matches over 34 days.

The United bid won with 67 percent of the vote. An optimistic promise of delivering $14 billion in revenue helped sway voters, along with the lack of major construction work required on the 16 planned stadiums, all of which already exist.

The U.S. proposed staging 60 out of the 80 games in 2026, when 16 teams will be added to the finals, leaving Canada and Mexico with ten fixtures each. The U.S. is set to host all games from the quarterfinals onward.

By contrast, a potential bid from Morocco appeared too hazardous when all 14 venues had to be built or renovated as part of a $16 billion investment in new infrastructure. The vote leaves Morocco reeling from a fifth failure in a World Cup hosting vote, with the continent’s sole tournament coming in 2010 in South Africa.

April 14 - November 25, 2018 -- The 2018 Rallycross season comprises 12 events, commencing with the World RX of Catalunya from Apr 14-16. The season concludes in South Africa in November.

The FIA World Rallycross Championship (World RX) is head-to-head short, sharp racing on mixed surfaces (dirt and asphalt) contained within amphitheatre venues. High-profile drivers are equipped with RX Supercars with over 600bhp and the ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than two seconds, faster than an F1 car. World RX debuted in 2014 with a 12-round calendar.

Race meetings are normally run over two days and include four separate qualifying sessions, two knock-out semi-finals and one final.

In the FIA World Rallycross Championship each vehicle must run a lap with a detour once during each single race, called a “Joker lap”. This lap must be at least two seconds slower, therefore the alternative route makes the lap longer.

This season includes a round in the United States for the first time, with the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, scheduled to host the event.
