2023 Rugby World Cup - Finals Preview

.. and the 3rd place match!

Argentina 🇦🇷 vs England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

England are coming off a tough loss to South Africa where they led the game for about 75 minutes. They had the final in their grasp and let it slip away. How do they respond? If England plays their best, Argentina will not win this game. We saw how outmatched they were against New Zealand. They were a lucky draw placement and they'll be lucky to get 4th. But really, England showing up flat is a real possibility.

New Zealand 🇳🇿 vs South Africa 🇿🇦

These teams are very evenly matched and have given each other a tough time over the years. I expect this to go down to the wire. The last match was a RWC warm-up match that RSA took 35-7. Don't expect that again. New Zealand won the Rugby Championship earlier this year (including beating RSA) and split the '22 and '21 matches with RSA. I'm thinking this will be somewhere around 23-16 at the end with the kiwis edging out the bokke.
