As excitement for the event grew, we decided to pull out the magic eight ball and make a few forecasts about how far every one of the home nations' teams would advance in the tournament.

IRELAND – Final

Andy Farrell's team has checked all the appropriate boxes by winning the 2023 Guinness 6 Nation Grand Slam, positioning Ireland to win their first-ever Rugby World Cup. When performing at its best, Ireland, the top-ranked team in the world of rugby, appears to be nearly unstoppable. With a returning Johnny Sexton bolstering their ranks in the latter phases of the competition.

We are certain that they have everything it takes to go to the championship game on October 28. Ireland faces a difficult journey to the championship game because Group B is aptly known as "the pack of death." In their group, Ireland will compete against Scotland, South Africa, Tonga, and Romania, with either Ireland or the Springboks likely to win.

We have chosen Ireland, who will thereafter play the All Blacks, the runners-up in Group A. Before Ireland's eventual victory by the slimmest of margins, this enormous quarterfinal would witness numerous momentum swings. The Australian team led by Eddie Jones will then face the men from the Emerald Isle in the last four, according to our prediction. Under Jones, the Wallabies appear to be regaining their mojo.

They will win Group C and advance to the quarterfinals by defeating Argentina. By defeating Australia and making it to their first Rugby World Cup final, where they will face the hosts France, Ireland will break their long-standing RWC curse.

The Rugby World Cup final is set to feature two unbeaten teams, and the curtain-raiser between Ireland and France may go anyway. Given that France has won silver medals in three successive events, Les Bleus would benefit from having the home-ground benefit at the venue Stade de France. It may even be the "fourth time's the charm."

To win the Web Ellis trophy and bring it to Dublin for the first time, the Irish, who are deserving favourites, should not be discounted, though.

ENGLAND – Semi-Final

Before the RWC, Steve Borthwick wants to brush off the Six Nations rust and become familiar with his England team. There hasn't been a clear winner in the fly-half selection controversy; Sale outsider George Ford, Marcus Smith, and Owen Farrell are all vying to join the team and secure their seats on the Eurostar.

England was given a group that they may win, and they won't face any of the elite five World Rugby-ranked nations before at least the semifinal. However, this will be the point at which England exits the tournament, and for Borthwick, it will be a somewhat good debut. With matches against Chile, Argentina, Japan, Samoa, and other RWC debutants.

England should emerge victorious from Group D. Los Pumas appear to be the most dangerous threat since the memory of Argentina's shocking 29-30 triumph still hangs over Twickenham Stadium. England's Rugby World Cup warm-up encounter versus Fiji gives them an overview of Pacific Island ferocity to help them prepare for Samoa. Calm heads will triumph against Argentina.

The Brave Blossoms of Japan are not new to a Rugby World Cup shock, and Japan is only getting stronger. Because of the 'Brighton Miracle' of 2015, in which Japan upset South Africa against all odds, England is aware that they should not take their pool stage competitors lightly. The undiscovered oddity of Chile, who qualified for the first time.

Chile is determined to leave nothing on the field and leave an impression on the rugby world. If Australia wins Group C and Wales comes in second, a quarterfinal matchup with Wales is likely. In a matchup similar to the most recent Six Nations, England is predicted to prevail in this matchup.

Yet, two pre-RWC games versus Warren Gatland's team played alternately, will provide a greater indication of what to anticipate from this potential encounter.

Then, England will play Antoine Dupont and company in the semifinals, where they will be eliminated from the Rugby World Cup. Following their humiliating 10–53 loss to England in their previous meeting at Twickenham Stadium, Fabien Galthie's men are unquestionably favourites if the two teams were to face off once more in the Rugby World Cup.

SCOTLAND – Pool Stages

Given how thrilling Gregor Townsend's team has been in recent years, performing best at the most recent Six Nations competition, this will be a terrible reality. However, Scotland has drawn the short straw when it comes to the Rugby World Cup Group Stages, as they will have to compete against the strength of South Africa and Ireland in the opening round of the tournament.

We are aiming for the most likely results for these predictions, but a surprise triumph is always conceivable. The two teams that stand the best chance of advancing to the quarterfinals, at Scotland's expense, are Ireland and South Africa. Stuart Hogg, a Scottish rugby legend, revealed his surprise departure after March, thus this appears to be his final farewell.

We sincerely hope that Scotland upholds their finest standards and defeats both South Africa and Ireland. During the 2021 Autumn series, South Africa would be the team with a better chance of winning because they had slowed down a bit since beating Scotland in Edinburgh by a score of 15–30. Coaching staff from all over the world avidly watch the Rugby World Cup Warm-Up games.

The present situation of both teams will be fully on show throughout the approaching summer. At Twickenham Stadium, South Africa will play the All Blacks in front of an anticipated sold-out crowd, giving the two international rugby powerhouses a taste of the Rugby World Cup.

 Scotland's busy summer calendar includes two Six Nations rematches against France, sandwiched between encounters with Italy and Six Nations contenders Georgia. In their interesting warm-up games, we'll see what the boys from North of the Wall intend to offer to France.To become RWC 2023 eye witness you can buy Ireland Vs Scotland Tickets from our online platform.

WALES – Quarter Finals

The anticipated conclusion to Wales, Rugby World Cup 2023 scenario has already been debated, with a quarterfinal exit to England predicted by fate tellers. Warren Gatland will be the centre of attention after Wales' unimpressive fifth-place result in the 2023 Six Nations, which could make for a fascinating Rugby World Cup effort for Wales.

Fortunately, Gatland was capable of winning upon his return to Wales, and after the victory versus Italy, a collective sigh of relief could be heard throughout the country. However, this was the most Wales could do in the Six Nations, and they were easily defeated by their Irish and Scottish brethren, as well as by France, who won 41-28.

Wales' whole season was obscured by the WRU's negotiations for a contract saga, which distracted Gatland's team and nearly resulted in the cancellation of the match against England because of strike threats from Welsh players. But now that the controversy around that incident has subsided, Wales will be put to the test in their Group C matches.

All bar the match against Australia appears to be in their favour, as the Wallabies are the clear favourites to win their group after recently passing Wales and Argentine in the World Rugby standings. Warren Gatland's team will have difficult tests against Fiji and Georgia, which could potentially derail Wales' hopes of progressing out of the group.

A disciplined Georgian team defeated Wales 12-13 in the Autumn Series last year at the Principality Stadium, putting an end to Wayne Pivac's tenure as head trainer of Wales. The most recent time the two teams met was in the Group Stage of the 2019 Rugby World Cup, where Wales defeated Fiji 29–17.

Many of the older senior performers from the Japan Rugby World Cup continue to play on this Welsh team, but their bodies are now more worn out as a period of transition is expected to follow the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Wales plays Portugal in Group C, who are unpredictable in their Rugby World Cup debut, comparable to Chile towards England.

As the Portuguese don't have any hopes and are eager to shock the recognised international teams on the largest platform, this match could very well be a "banana skin" one for Wales.
