The Flying Fijians will face Wales in their first match of the 2023 Rugby World Cup on 11th September, 2023.

Fiji’s second match will be against Australia on 18th September, 2023 while their third and fourth matches will be against qualifying teams who are yet to be confirmed.

The All Blacks will take on France in a blockbuster opening match to the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Hosts France and New Zealand will kick off the 10th edition on Saturday, September 9, 2023 at Paris' Stade de France.

The national stadium sees two-time champions Australia playing the following day against a European side yet to be decided in Pool C. Ireland will open on the same Saturday in wine-growing Bordeaux, also against a European team in Pool B.

Defending champions South Africa will start their bid for a record fourth world title against Scotland in Pool B on September 11, one day after beaten finalists England – the 2003 champions – take on Argentina in Pool D at the 67,000-capacity Stade Velodrome.
