There’s six games to look forward to in France over the coming days.
This weekend’s World Cup action kick-off in Lyon as the All Blacks take on Italy. New Zealand appear to be on a collision course with Ireland in the quarter-finals, with Andy Farrell’s side in pole position to top Pool B after their defeat of South Africa, and New Zealand favourites to finish second in Pool A on the back of their opening weekend loss to France.
Replacements: Dane Coles, Tamaiti Williams, Tyrel Lomax, Sam Whitelock, Sam Cane, Cam Roigard, Damian McKenzie, Anton Lienert-Brown. Cheika has made 11 changes to his starting team from the Samoa game and Agustín Creevy is set to equal Mario Ledesma as Argentina’s most capped Rugby World Cup player as he plays his 18th match at the tournament. Win tomorrow, and Argentina’s meeting with Japan next Sunday will be a straight shootout for second place.
Replacements: Tomas Dussaillant, Salvador Lues, Esteban Inostroza, Augusto Sarmiento, Alfonso Escobar, Ignacio Silva, Nicolas Herreros, Francisco Urroz.Pool C, Stade de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, 4.45pm FIJI: Ilaisa Droasese; Selesitino Ravutaumada, Waisea Nayacalevu , Josua Tuisova, Semi Radradra; Teti Tela, Simione Kuruvoli; Eroni Mawi, Samuel Matavesi, Luke Tagi; Isoa Nasilasila, Te Ahiwaru Cirikidaveta; Lekima Tagitagivalu, Levani Botia, Viliame Mata.
With one eye on that Ireland game, they’ve rotated their squad this weekend, meaning a first World Cup start for former Munster out-half Ben Healy – one of 13 changes made to the side by Gregor Townsend. ROMANIA: Marius Simionescu; Sioeli Lama, Jason Tomane, Fonovai Tangimana, Taliauli Sikuea; Alin Conache, Gabriel Rupanu; Alexandru Savin, Robert Irimescu, Gheorghe Gajion; Adrian Motoc, Stefan Iancu; Florian Rosu, Dragos Ser, Cristian Chirica .
Before the tournament kicked-off, Australia would have been heavy favourites for this fixture but with their confidence seemingly on the floor, Portugal have a chance to record a famous win. They’ve played some brilliant, inventive rugby in France and were desperately unlucky not to steal a first World Cup win against Georgia.
