An aristocratic competition begins, the highest tournament in “the sport of naked men, played by gentlemen”: Rugby World Cup.

France will host from September 8 to October 28 this royal sport that plays in 15, each component of the team with their very clear position in the team, each with the pressure of huge predecessors who wore the shirt with that number.

We are waiting for a titanic confrontation between the forces of the Northern Hemisphere (Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and the host France) and the Southern (South Africa – the world champion, Australia, Argentina and the superpower New Zealand). .

With such big names, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa seem capable of fighting. Italy, Japan and Georgia are the other progressing nations in contention for at least 3rd place in the group, a position that brings direct qualification to the next Rugby World Cup.

Romania is also competing in the Rugby World Cup again, being the only senior men’s team to qualify for a tournament of this magnitude. With a reshuffled party in which coach Eugen Apyok is trying to close the core that will keep us in the 2nd echelon of world value (so-called Tier 2 Nations).

The Oaks are in the group of death, featuring world champions the Springboks (South Africa), Ireland’s most in-form team in the world rankings, Scotland, valuable and ambitious, and Tonga, perhaps the main beneficiary of the new naturalization law players, Tonga have 5 former All Blacks in their squad!

And speaking of New Zealand… the tournament kicks off with a huge clash between France and the All Blacks at the Stade de France! The French and New Zealanders have already met in matches that became important milestones in the history of this sport. From the first World Cup final in 1987, to the closest ever final, 8-7, both won by New Zealand, to an unreal semi-final won by France 43-31 in front of Lomé, in the quarter-finals where France progressed. a controversial pass that many fans believed was a forward pass.

Already a historic first poster, on the track record of this match between France and New Zealand.

Enjoy this tournament, place bets and discover this spectacular sport where the ball is oval but the passion, power, talent and ambition are global!

The Rugby World Cup will be great with you!
