2023 RWC pools

All Blacks face France again as pools revealed for Rugby World Cup

The draw was held in Paris overnight.

A qualifier from the Americas and Africa will join them in Pool A.

The All Blacks have played France seven times at RWCs, the most of any country, and Italy five times, with the 2019 fixture cancelled due to Typhoon Hagibis in Japan.

The Americas 1 winner will come from a play off series between the 2021 Rugby Americas North champion and 2021 Sudamerica Rugby champion.

Africa 1 will be the winner of the 2022 Rugby Africa Cup.
