World Rugby and Chile Rugby moved the 18 July Nations Cup match against Georgia from La Serena to Santiago. The decision followed adverse weather forecasts for the Coquimbo Region and a preventive red alert issued by the La Serena municipality.

Chile Rugby confirmed CARR Mahuida as the replacement venue, with kick-off at 13:00 local time. After consultation with relevant authorities, organisers also decided that the match would take place without spectators.

Broadcast options were being explored through Disney+ in Chile, domestic broadcasters in selected markets and RugbyPass TV elsewhere, subject to operational feasibility. The statement confirmed the venue and spectator arrangements but did not guarantee every proposed broadcast option.
