Rugby fever is set to sweep the globe as France stages the 10th edition of the World Cup from Friday, September 8 to Saturday, October 28.
South Africa head into the tournament as the defending champions after demolishing England in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
The Springboks are among the favourites to retain their crown, but Ireland will fancy their chances of lifting the Webb Ellis Cup after completing the Grand Slam in this year’s Six Nations and climbing to the top of the world rankings.
Conversely, England are at rock bottom after losing five of their last six internationals, including a 30-22 defeat to Fiji last time out, and the pressure is building on Steve Borthwick and his side. Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola being banned for part of the tournament doesn’t help much, either.
Scotland have enjoyed some decent results in 2023 but face a challenge to progress from the pool stage after being drawn with Ireland and South Africa, while Wales were disappointing in the Six Nations and have a point to prove.
The latest Rugby World Cup odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise everything you need to know about this year’s tournament is below.
There are five teams apiece in four pools and the top two progress to the last eight of the Rugby World Cup.
Pool A: New Zealand, France, Italy, Uruguay, Namibia Pool B: South Africa, Ireland, Scotland, Tonga, Romania Pool C: Wales, Australia, Fiji, Georgia, Portugal Pool D: England, Japan, Argentina, Samoa, Chile
