The blues were finally fixed. The 2023 Rugby World Cup schedule was released in Paris this Friday as France’s XV postponed the six-nation match against Scotland, with several cases of the Covid-19 and the staff of the French team postponed. At the Palace Frankhiyard on December 14, the draw is yet to be determined between New Zealand, Italy and the two countries in the United States and Africa.
This Friday, we know more about the series of matches in the group stages. So, the Blues will start the State de France match against the All-Blocks on September 8, with Italy facing Africa 1 (Editor’s note: Winner of the Rugby Africa Cup of 2022) on September 9 at the St Jeffrey-Quizard in Saint-Etienne. France XV then play against USA 1 (Editor’s note: winner of the Americas Rugby Championship) on September 14 at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium in Lille, against New Zealand Africa 1 the next day at Toulouse Stadium.
On the third day, the day after the Italy-USA 1 clash in Nice, the Blues will play Africa 1 at the State Velotrome in Marseille on September 21st. America 1 and Africa 1 will meet on September 27 in Park OL, while Italy will try to disrupt All-Blocks in the same Park OL on September 29. Italy discovers France on October 6, the last day in Lyon, the day after New Zealand-America 1.
Other interesting lessons to be learned from this revelation of the 2023 World Cup calendar are the clashes between England and Argentina on the first day of Pool D on September 9 at the State Velotrom or on Pool C between Wales and Australia on September 24 at OL. South Africa-Scotland on September 10 in Marseille and Ireland-Scotland on October 7 in Pool B.
