Rugby World Cup 2023 schedule: Quarter-finals fixtures, dates and kick-off times

AP

The 2023 Rugby World Cup has completed an entertaining pool stage which saw France, Ireland, Wales and England top their groups.

New Zealand, South Africa, Fiji and Argentina finished as runners-up to set up a mouthwatering quarter-final fixture list.

Saturday’s matches will kick-off with Wales against Argentina in Marseille, as Warren Gatland’s side aim to reach the semi-finals for the first time at a Rugby World Cup. That match is followed by a huge showdown between world No 1 Ireland and the All Blacks in Paris.

On Sunday, England and Fiji meet in Marseille as the Fijians, like Wales, aim to qualify for the first World Cup semi-final in their history. That precedes what is being tipped as the match of the tournament so far – a contest fit enough for a final – as hosts France face reigning champions South Africa in Paris.
