The table of matches in Bordeaux for the 2023 World Cup has become clearer since the qualification, on Sunday, of Spain for the final tournament, beating Portugal (33-28) in Madrid. The Spaniards are returned to the Pool B with world champions South Africa, Scotland, Ireland and an adversary from the continental United States yet to be determined.
The XV del Leon will play two of his group matches at Matmut Atlantique, Saturday September 9, 2023 against Ireland and Sunday September 17 against South Africa. We therefore know the posters of four of the five meetings that will be played in Bordeaux. It remains only to determine the opponent of Samoa, who will be the winner of the return match between Chile and the United States.
Spain’s last participation in a Rugby World Cup dates back to 1999 when the Iberian team lost all three matches, against Uruguay (27-15), South Africa (47-3) and Portugal. Scotland (48-0).
