The Rugby World Cup 2023 is finally here, and this autumn we will see the 20 best teams in the world battle for the prestigious Webb Ellis trophy. France is hosting this year's event, with South Africa looking to defend their title which they won four years ago.
The All Blacks of New Zealand are the frontrunners, with their impressive performances in the Rugby Championship. However, England's hopes are not looking so high, as they only managed a fourth-place finish in the Six Nations earlier this year.
So who's the favourite to take home the trophy? According to the latest odds, New Zealand are the frontrunners, with odds of 5/2 to win the tournament. France follows closely behind at 11/4, then Ireland and South Africa, both at 9/2. England, however, is quite a bit down the list, with odds of 10/1, and Wales an even bigger outsider at 33/1.
The tournament kicks off on Friday, September 8th, and will last for six weeks until the final on Saturday, October 21st. Matches will take place across France in nine different stadiums.
As we get ready for the start of the Rugby World Cup, one thing is for sure: it's going to be an exciting tournament! Who do you think will win? Share your views in the comments below.
