Pool A

This chicken is within reach of the French team. Of course, the first match against New Zealand is an early shock in the competition, perhaps the final before the letter, because the two teams could meet again on October 28 at the Stade de France. But Italy, although progressing, Uruguay and Namibia present more modest difficulties.

Pool B

This is the famous “death group”. With three teams in the top 5 of the world, this group will inevitably leave a solid nation on the sidelines. Ireland (1st) and South Africa (3rd) will be the favorites, but beware of Scotland (5th), which is progressing and could surprise. For Tonga and Romania it will be about winning at least one match.

Pool C

Undoubtedly the most indecisive chicken. Australia is in a performance and management crisis with manager Eddie Jones struggling and Wales aging. So Fiji, and why not Georgia, may have ambitions in this group and hope to see the quarter-finals. Portugal is Tom Thumb.

Pool D

The chicken is more exposed than it looks. Of course, Argentina and England are the two clear favorites to advance to the quarter-finals. But Japan, four years after it reached the roller coaster at home to the World Cup, and Samoa, bolstered by former All Blacks, believe in their chances of disrupting the established order. For Chile, this will be a great discovery.

Twenty teams, over 600 players, but on October 28 at the Stade de France, only one captain will lift the William Webb-Ellis Cup. Who will be crowned after these 48 matches and almost two months of competition (September 8 – October 28)? Will the new team register their name in the list of winners of the tournament, which has only four different winners in nine editions (New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and England)?

Four top favorites stand out: the host country, France, their first-leg rival, New Zealand, as well as Ireland, the best country in the world, and South Africa, the reigning champions. Of these four teams, only two will probably remain after the quarter-finals, since at this stage of the tournament they will face each other. So outsiders like Australia, Argentina or Fiji, why not, can also do well.

With this guide, you will be able to know the entire team, the XV types of each set, their form status, as well as the players to follow while not forgetting their World Cup history and an anecdote about each of the 20 teams. .

You can also check out the other formats of this major event: the full profile of the 33 Blues selected by coach Fabien Galtier and his team, as well as the full competition calendar. The Rugby World Cup is more famous than ever and covered by Le Parisien media.
