RWC Update: Ireland Have Final Captain's Run Before Springboks Test

Friday, 22 September 2023 14:05

Argentina face Samoa in Pool D this afternoon.

Ireland have their captain's run in Paris this afternoon ahead of tomorrow's battle with South Africa.

Tullamore RFC Senior men's manager, and South Africa's Darin Classin says despite his admiration of the Irish rugby team, he's leaning towards the Springboks:

Scotland are Ireland's final Pool B opponents and their coach Gregor Townsend has made 4 changes for the game against Tonga on Sunday. 

Kyle Steyn, Scott Cummings, Chris Harris and Rory Sutherland come into the 15. 

The French Rugby Federation has confirmed Antoine Dupont (pr: Doo-pon) suffered a facial fracture during last night's 96-nil Pool A win for the hosts against Namibia at the World Cup. 

France are two weeks away from their final Pool game against Italy and three weeks out from a quarter-final. 

In the tournament today, Argentina play Samoa in Pool D in Saint Etienne from 4.45.
