100 Days Pending Rugby World Cup 2023 Kicks off – A Timely Look at the Event

Posted by Xchange Tickets on June 2nd, 2023

The RWC 2023 start date is approaching at the beginning of June, and the countdown has reached two figures! Yes, the Rugby World Cup will begin with France hosting New Zealand in Pool A at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis in less than 100 days.

Rugby World Cup fans from all over the world are called to book RWC 2023 tickets from our online platform xchangetickets.com Rugby fans can book France vs Uruguay Tickets on our website at exclusively discounted prices.

Fans of rugby union in the northern and southern hemispheres are beginning to show signs of growing excitement, and we at Pundit Feed believe that now is the perfect time to begin doing so with this France Rugby World Cup 2023 Preview.

This will be the first Rugby World Cup to be contested entirely in France, and it will be the eighth overall. Despite the fact that France hosted the 2007 event as well, Cardiff and Edinburgh each hosted four games. The Rugby World Cup of 1991 was jointly hosted by France, England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, but no games will be played outside of France in 2023!

16 teams competed in the first three Rugby World Cups (1987, 1991, and 1995), but starting in 1999 and continuing through the RWC 2023, there will be 20 teams in each match.

The most recent Rugby World Cup was held in Japan in 2019, and New Zealand was hosting it while leading their third straight Webb Ellis Cup. But on November 2, when South Africa defeated England 32-12 in Yokohama, the Black Caps dropped to third position.

France will be watching to see whether they can become the third nation to not only host the competition on their own but also to take first place in front of their own supporters.

Rugby World Cup 2023 Dates

From the opening match of the pool stage on September 8 to the championship game on October 28, this France RWC2023 will take place. Four fittings will wrap up the pool round on October 8 before the quarterfinals take place on October 14 and 15 and the semifinals on October 20 and 21.

Rugby World Cup 2023 Format

The four different ‘Pools’, each of which has five squads, are made up of the 20 opposing squads. The top two teams from each pool advance to the knockout stage after playing each other’s four opponents. Importantly, the teams who place third will automatically qualify for the Rugby World Cup 2027, which will be held in Australia.

Rugby World Cup 2023 Participants

Pool A

New Zealand- is one of the two most successful teams in RWC history. The All Blacks are looking to win the trophy for a record-breaking fourth time alongside South Africa.

England- France has the record for finishing second in the final the most frequently (3). France, on the other hand, has never claimed the Webb-Ellis Cup, unlike England.

Italy- has participated in every Rugby World Cup and is still attempting to make it out of the pool for the first time. In their pool, they came in third place in 2019, trailing only South Africa and New Zealand.

Uruguay: This will be Uruguay’s third consecutive RWC and its fifth overall. In the 2015 competition, they were winless, but in 2019, they defeated Fiji 30-27.

Namibia – after succeeding in the last six races, this will be Namibia’s seventh Rugby World Cup in a row. However, they are still observing for their first win.

Pool B

South Africa – the holders start their title defense against Scotland in Marseille on September 10th. They are now in fourth place in the world rankings.

Ireland is widely regarded as the favorite because they are currently ranked first in the world and have just completed the 2023 Six Nations Grand Slam. They have, however, never advanced past the quarterfinals. Fans can buy Rugby World Cup Final Tickets from our website.

Scotland- is rated fifth; it has been one of the top rugby-playing nations over the past five years. Their fourth-place showing in 1991 was their highest result.

Tonga- did not earn a spot in the Rugby World Cup 1991, but they have participated in every previous competition and lost in the pool stage each time.

Romania – Romania will compete in their ninth event in an effort to escape pool stage elimination once more after missing the Rugby World Cup 2019 due to fielding ineligible players during the qualifiers.

Pool C

Wales – pay rows between players and the rugby board, as well as high profile leavings and a poor 2023 Six Nations mean that few are backing Wales to get wherever near their semi-final appearance in 2019.

Australia – the two-time winners are thought by many to have the calmest pool to navigate. Ranked 7th in the world, they will be coached by previous Japan and England coach Eddie Jones.

Fiji — it would be a notable accomplishment if Fiji were to repeat their quarterfinal appearances from 1987 and 2007 in this competition.

Georgia—a regular at the Rugby World Cup—will compete in their sixth straight competition. Despite winning two games in 2015, they have yet to get past the pool stage.

Portugal – Portugal will be competing in this France Rugby World Cup 2023 for the second time; they previously competed in the 2007 competition.

Pool D

England – no other country can match England’s record of 3x RWC Finals since the turn of the century. However, they changed their coach in December and were disappointed in the 2023 Six Nations. The RWC 2023 fans can buy England vs japan Tickets from our website at exclusively discountable prices.

Japan- the 2019 hosts, won over rugby fans’ hearts and excitement by making it all the way to the quarterfinals, where they fell to eventual champion South Africa.

Argentina- has never been eliminated from an RWC and has advanced past the pool stage in four of the last six competitions. Both in 2015 and 2007, they came in fourth place.

Samoa- has lost in the pool stage of every competition since making it to the quarterfinals in each of their first three Rugby World Cups (1991, 1995, and 1999).

Chile- the only nation competing in the Rugby World Cup for the first time, earned their spot in France with a 52-51 aggregate victory over the United States in July of last year.

Rugby World Cup 2023 favorites

The hosts are the 11/4 favorites to win the trophy for the first time with just over 100 days till the opening game. Ireland trails New Zealand by just one point at 4/1 and is the third favorite at 3/1. South Africa’s odds of keeping the trophy are 9/2.
