 A Comprehensive Guide to the Rugby World Cup 2023

The Rugby World Cup is just around the corner, and the excitement among fans is reaching a fever pitch as we eagerly await the kick-off.

Intrigue surrounds the Wallabies’ preparations as the team undergoes a major overhaul. Coach Eddie Jones is leaving no stone unturned as he charts a bold course for the future. When will this spectacle commence, and how can you catch all the action? The World Cup extravaganza is set to commence this Saturday at the ungodly hour of 5.15am (AEST), with France hosting the tournament’s curtain-raiser against none other than rugby giants, New Zealand.

Australia’s journey begins on Sunday at 2am (AEST) when they face off against Georgia. Following that, the Wallabies will cross paths with Fiji, Wales, and Portugal in their other scintillating encounters in pool C. Brace yourselves, for the knockout stage is on the horizon, slated for the weekend of October 14-15. Who are the formidable contenders, and who are the dark horses? Unsurprisingly, the perennial favorites, New Zealand, have once again earned the bookies’ favor as the top pick to clinch this year’s championship.

However, a seismic shift occurred when the All Blacks were handed a resounding 35-7 defeat by South Africa just a fortnight ago. As a result, the Springboks and the host nation, France, now find themselves perched atop many experts’ lists as the ones to watch out for in this exhilarating World Cup edition.
