11 a.m.: The world champions begin the defense of their crown!

Dear rugby friends, it’s time. It's time for South Africa, the reigning world champion, to make their big debut in this 2023 World Cup. Opposite, it won't be just anyone, Scotland, in this case. But given the Springboks' summer preparation, it's hard to predict. imagine something other than a South African masterclass. We are still counting on the XV du Chardon to resist the bulldozer, which, let us remember, brought down the army. Wales and New Zealand in August (only Argentina almost escaped losing 24-13 at the start of August). In addition to being the champion's pool, this group will be particularly strong. because it will cross paths with that of the French team from the quarter-finals.
