Rugby World Cup 2023 Guide
The regular Autumn International rugby matches will give way to something altogether bigger in 2023, when the Rugby World Cup takes place in France.
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will join 16 other nations as they compete for the ultimate prize in rugby – the Webb Ellis Cup – which was last won by the Springboks in 2019.
The opening match of Rugby World Cup 2023 will see hosts France face three-time winners New Zealand on Friday 8th September. The final will take place seven weeks later on Saturday 28th October.
