2023 Rugby World Cup in FrancefileIn Pool D, the Argentinian Pumas defeated the Japanese XV this Sunday, October 8 after a tough and sumptuous match (39-27). France-South Africa, Ireland-New Zealand… The quarter-finals are known, with the exception of a slight uncertainty over the presence or not of Fiji.
It was a round of 16 that didn’t say its name. At the Beaujoire stadium in Nantes, the Argentina team managed to get rid of Japan this Sunday, October 8, thus validating its second place in Group D, dominated by England. Magnificent, the meeting saw the two teams going blow for blow, with a marvelous try from the Japanese second row Fakatava, but also a hat-trick from the explosive Argentine winger Mateo Carreras. Final score: 39-27. The Pumas will face Wales on Saturday October 14 in Marseille, for the first quarter-final of this 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The other posters are almost all known. Ireland, who did not give Scotland hope on Saturday at the Stade de France, will challenge the New Zealand All Blacks, while the Blues of Fabien Galthié (who destroyed Italy on Friday) will have to contend with the strong champions of the world title South Africans. England, very pale on Saturday against Samoa, is also qualified. In all likelihood, the XV de la Rose will face Fiji who, after knocking out Australia, will only need a point this Sunday evening against modest Portugal to reach the quarters.
