The matches included
Quarter-final 1 - Stade Vélodrome - Saturday 14 October 2023
Quarter-final 3 - Stade Vélodrome - Sunday 15 October 2023
This is where England will hope to be – group winners and on course to maximise their chances in the knockout stages.
The sparring has been done, it’s now down to the serious stuff. The best eight teams in the world will come together, with a place in the last four at stake, which means one moment of brilliance or one mistake could be fatal.
In 2019, England put Australia to the sword in Oita and that momentum propelled them all the way to the final, what will be in store this time?

The matches included
Semi-final 1 - Stade de France - Friday 20 October 2023
Semi-final 2 - Stade de France - Saturday 21 October 2023
It’s within touching distance. The greatest game in rugby is only 80 minutes away and the eyes of the world will be on both semi-finals.
In 2019, there were two contrasting games. In the first, England produced their most memorable performance under Eddie Jones to defeat New Zealand and in the second, South Africa’s expertise, muscle and game-plan strangled Wales.
Two great teams will be heading out of the tournament – the question is, who will be left standing?

Marseille
France’s second biggest city and largest port is a really intriguing place in which to spend a few days. You can eat well in any French city, but Marseille's location, peering south across the water towards Morocco and Algeria, means that you can find a discernible North African influence to its cuisine.
Inevitably, you can dine well on seafood too, in the restaurants laced around the Vieux Port (Old Port) – the thick fish stew that is bouillabaisse originated in the city and is very much a speciality. There are plenty of bars for a drink too – particularly on Place Jean Jaures, where the evening runs on late. Out in the bay, Chateau D'If is just as dramatic and the Cathedral (Cathedrale Sainte-Marie-Majeure) is one of France’s most beautiful.

Nice
When it comes to destinations for long weekends and rugby-related trips during Rugby World Cup, it is hard to think that any city (with perhaps the exception of Paris) will be more in demand than this sparkling jewel of the Cote d'Azur.
The seafront is the main focus, of course. The Promenade des Anglais runs alongside the Mediterranean for four miles but the city caters to all sorts. The narrow streets behind Plage des Ponchettes – Rue du Moulin, Rue du Pontin, Rue de l’Abbaye – are filled with bars which deal more in beers than bottles of something vintage. This is also the “old town”, where the Baroque Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate holds pride of position on Place Rossetti, and the Marché Aux Fleurs Cours Saleya (market) sells local produce. From here, it’s a short walk up the Colline du Chateau (Castle Hill), where the remnants of the city’s medieval fortress look down on the beaches.

Paris
Paris will always argue (with full justification) that its clichés are better than anywhere else's. True, you have seen them in a thousand images – the gleaming shopping strip of the Champs Elysées, the leafy paths of the Jardin des Tuileries, the Gothic majesty of Notre-Dame (currently under repair after the fire which enveloped it in 2019, but no less incredible under scaffolding), the epic domes of the Sacré-Coeur basilica, on the top of Montmartre. But to head to Paris, and not see them, would be to miss much that makes the city special.
Then there is the Eiffel Tower – which, for all its global fame, more than rewards those who pay it closer attention. The view it offers – from the first and second stages, as well as from the top – is one that is best enjoyed with your own eyes. Paris has it all and this rugby experience will bring it to life.

Bordeaux
Few places – anywhere on the planet – are as closely associated with one particular drink as France’s sophisticated sentry of the Atlantic coast. For many of us, Bordeaux is red wine, and red wine is Bordeaux. Of course, there is much more to what is the historic capital of the Aquitaine region than vineyards and viticulture – this is an attractive city, pinned to the banks of the Garonne, just below where it merges with the River Dordogne to form the Gironde estuary.
It has epic churches, great restaurants and – not too far away – lovely beaches. But if quality claret is something which appeals, then Bordeaux can be only, and all, about its most celebrated product. Pass a glass; leave the bottle on the table.
