South Africa and Ireland, two of the favourites for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, meet in a big Pool B clash at the Stade de France on September 23. 

Both sides have their gaze fixed on winning the tournament and a success for either here will likely ensure an easier quarter-final clash, although with likely Pool A qualifiers France and New Zealand lying in wait, the advantage will hardly be a big one. 

Both sides enjoyed wins in their respective opening matches, with South Africa proving too strong for Scotland and Ireland putting 80 points past Romania. 

When is it?

South Africa v Ireland takes place on Saturday, Sept 23 with the match kicking off at 8pm BST, 9pm local time. 

Where is it?

The match will take place at the Stade de France in Paris. Read more about the venues for the Rugby World Cup HERE.
