2023 National Rugby League | 10th edition of the men’s Rugby World Cup
Friday, September 8th – Saturday, October 28th, 2023

France vs Italy | Pool A

Rugby World Cup Odds: France -26.5 / France -10000; Italy +1259 / O/U 57.5
Friday, October 6th, 2023 at 3:00 pm
Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Décines-Charpieu, France

The battle for the top two spots in Pool A will go down to the final day, with France, Italy, and New Zealand still in contention. France will be looking to avoid an early exit in their home tournament, and a win will be enough to secure their passage.

The French have been excellent throughout the pool stage, as they have won all three of their matches, including a 27-13 success over New Zealand on matchday one.

Italy could yet spring one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history, as a victory for the European nation would see them finish second. However, their record against France is incredibly concerning, as they have won just three of the last 47. We expect France to put down a marker for the tournament ahead with a dominant victory in Lyon on Friday.

Ireland vs Scotland | Pool B

Rugby World Cup Odds: Ireland -12.5 / Ireland -555; Scotland +394 / O/U 46.5
Saturday, October 7th, 2023 at 3:00 pm
Stade de France, Saint-Denis, France

Pool B action takes center stage on Saturday, as two of the Home Nations will collide with a place in the knockout round hanging in the balance. The advantage is currently with Ireland, as they have won each of their opening three matches, scoring an impressive pool-high of 154 points and allowing just 32.

Scotland could yet finish second in the standing, and they have bounced back well since defeat against the reigning world champions South Africa by recording comfortable wins against Tonga and Romania.

Ireland’s record in this fixture could be the key factor, as they have won each of the last eight meetings between the sides. But, it could be worth siding with Scotland on the spread, as a close encounter is expected.

Fiji vs Portugal | Pool C

Rugby World Cup Odds: Fiji -20.5 / Fiji -2500 Portugal +936 / O/U 54.5
Sunday, October 8th, 2023 at 3:00 pm
Stadium de Toulouse, Toulouse, France

World Cup history could be made on Sunday, as Fiji require a single point to progress through to the knockout stage for just the third time in their history. Notably, a win for Fiji would see Australia crash out at the first hurdle for the first time in World Cup history. They have been excellent throughout the tournament, with their standout win coming in the form of a 22-15 success against the Aussies.

This is a solid fixture to achieve their historic feat, as Portugal have been outclassed against superior opposition throughout the tournament, picking up just a draw from their clash against Georgia.

The European nation have allowed a pool-high of 80 points, and we fully expect Fiji to maintain their 100% record against Portugal by landing a third straight victory against their rivals to secure their spot in second in Pool C.
