The fifth window will continue to see teams play everyone in their group, home-and-away. For the European region, the top three teams from each group after all games played will proceed, meaning a total of 12 countries will represent the continent on the world stage. For Africa, the top two teams from each group at the conclusion of Window 6 plus the best third-placed team will secure their ticket, while for the Americas it will be the top three teams from each group in addition to the best fourth-placed teams.
The 18-year-old 7-foot-4 phenomenon sent shockwaves through the basketball world when he stunned during a pre-season game between his side, Metropolitans 92, and the NBA G League Ignite. His performance had everyone talking about him, not least LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant. Having helped France take second at the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup and with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on the horizon, blooding a player like Wembanyama now could be critical to Les Bleus’ future successes at some of the sports’ biggest events, and there will be little doubt all eyes will be on him to see what he can do against some tough international opposition.

For all the experience in this South Africa XV, Kriel stands out as an anomaly, having racked up only four caps since making his Test debut against Australia in July—where he scored the first of his two international tries to date. The 21-year-old promises to do damage paired alongside the wisdom of De Villiers at inside centre, a figure who's sure to provide his electric midfield partner with a stream of reliable ammunition.
