Pool Match / Ireland V Scotland - October 7th 2023

This Pool B match at Stade de France between Ireland and Scotland on Saturday October 7, 2023 will have a distinctive flavour between two European teams more accustomed to playing face to face at Aviva Stadium or Murrayfield.
This time around, they won’t be playing for a Centenary Quaich (trophy awarded to the winner each year at the Six Nations Tournament), but a spot in the quarter-finals of Rugby World Cup 2023. Both still aspiring world title holders, the two teams dream of holding the Webb Ellis Cup Trophy after the final, just like their neighbour England, the only European nation to have been World Champion, winning Rugby World Cup 2003 in Australia.

In order to become world champion and join England, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in the history of this prestigious competition, they will have no choice but to emerge from this match as the winner. For the losing team, the task will be difficult, as this match is qualifying for the quarter-final.

But this sport has so many surprises in store, and the teams are so well prepared that anything could happen.

Adding to the showdown on the pitch, fans will face off in the stands as well. Starting immediately as the players enter the arena, when the Scottish fans will launch into the famous Flower of Scotland, while the Irish sing their symbolic Ireland’s Call : a moment sure to spend shivers of emotion down the spines of every spectator in Stade de France!
