The World Rugby Awards Special Edition (2020) will take place at 8 PM GMT on Monday 7 December 2020 and will be streamed and freely accessible on World Rugby social media channels. For most of Asia, the awards will be held in the early hours of Saturday morning, 8th December 2020.
World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont said: “With under a week to go until the World Rugby Awards Special Edition the sense of anticipation is building to find out who rugby fans around the world have voted to be the best men’s and women’s players of the decade in both 15s and sevens.
“Equally importantly, the event will provide a special opportunity to pay tribute to many members of the global rugby community who have performed incredible acts of service in helping to fight the global pandemic during what has been an extremely challenging year around the globe.”

The awards ceremony this year will be held online and will also feature a player of the decade award following a global public vote. The show will be co-hosted by former England international and World Rugby Hall of Fame inductee Maggie Alphonsi and rugby presenter Alex Payne.
The awards will “celebrate members of the rugby family who have provided outstanding service to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic and players and teams who have starred over the last decade” said World Rugby.
