@Public_N_M_E is there a classic international Rugby rivalry we should be aware of?
Whoever plays England 🤣. The Welsh would say England are their biggest international rivals.
The Irish would say the same, as would the Scots! 🤣🤣
From an English perspective, you just really want to beat the french... So maybe England V France. But otherwise I wouldn't say there were any classic rivalrys. Guinness ran an ad during the 6 nations that was pretty funny, but I can't seem to find it.

So everyone is rivals in rugby. Haha.

Thats more prestige than rivalry I feel. Beating those teams is a huge "top of the mountain" statement.

In terms of sporting and sporting glory yeah! Who wouldn't want to win against a legendry team.
Australian cricket team used to be that one might team, since 1999 world cup final where they beat Pakistan to the 2011 world cup group game where they lost to Pakistan... In between those years they never lost a single world cup game.
Now that was the team everyone wanted to beat and the only 'unpredictable' team they were worried about, Pakistan that beat them to end their world cup winning streak.
