Rugby World Cup 2023: Quarter-final fixtures, full schedule and TV guide

England will play Fiji in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, despite Portugal pulling off a stunning upset against the Pacific Islanders to register their first-ever Rugby World Cup win. 

At one point, it looked as though Eddie Jones’s Australia had a sniff of a place in the last eight with Fiji imploding against the Portuguese, but losing by just one point ensured the Fijians would live to fight another day and sent the Wallabies home in ignominy.

Earlier on Sunday, Argentina claimed second place in England’s group by beating Japan to set up a quarter-final against Wales. The other two quarter-finals will see France take on South Africa and Ireland tackle New Zealand.
