The Rugby World Cup kick-starts this weekend with a feast of matches to savour, including a host of the finest international teams in the sport.

The seven-week tournament is a marathon, not a sprint, but the early stages of the competition will shape the complexion of everything to come and offer clues as to which teams will go far.

Host nation France rank among the favourites to claim the trophy, but opening opponents New Zealand, reigning champions South Africa and Six Nations top dogs Ireland may have a thing or two to say about that.

Australia and Scotland enter the RWC as dark horses, while England head into proceedings in dire form. Wales have also been dogged by problems on and off the field in recent times.

The beauty of the Rugby World Cup lies within its unpredictability, with a host of simmering nations hoping to break through to mix it with the traditional elite.

ITV boasts exclusive rights to show the tournament, taking place across France, in all its glory in 2023 and we’ve got more details below.
