Started on September 8, the 2023 Rugby World Cup is gradually settling down, with trends emerging in view of the quarter-finals. And the day of Saturday September 23, full of three duels, will see two contenders for victory – South Africa and Ireland – face each other.
Rugby World Cup 2023: the duel of the little ones…..
But before that, rugby fans will be able to attend the Georgia-Portugal match. If Georgia is a regular at the World Cup with a fifth consecutive final phase since 2007, Portugal is only making its second appearance in the competition. Difficult to identify a favorite from a duel which will pit two nations destined for elimination, and which started their World Cup with a twenty-point defeat. The meeting could result in a historic event, with the potential first Portuguese victory in a World Cup. And the Lusitanians, far from being ridiculous against the Welsh (38-18), can harbor hope.
The mid-afternoon meeting between England and Chile appears to be the most unbalanced. Without shining but with a lot of solidity and formidable footwork, the fifteen of the Rose advance slowly but surely in the tournament. A success against the South Americans would almost certainly validate the presence of the English in the quarter-final, for the ninth time in ten editions.

Rugby World Cup 2023: … before a decisive shock for the Blues
But the rugby world will have its eyes glued to the evening meeting, and the enormous clash between South Africa and Ireland. On one side, the three-time world champion and on the other, the first in the world ranking. A final before time for first place in group B. The winner of the opposition between two strong contenders for the final triumph will be assured barring an accident of finishing at the top of the group. As a reminder, the second in group B will face the first in A, which includes a certain French team. There is a good chance that Fabien Galthié and his staff will keep an eye on a clash between two potential opponents, for what will undoubtedly be the quarter-final clash.
