The Ultimate 2023 Rugby World Cup Pool Stage Review

Loading player...
The 2023 Rugby World Cup pool stage has seen some exciting matches. The host nation France have been successful, world number one Ireland have delivered, Fiji and Portugal have lit up the tournament with their upset victories and plenty more in between. In this video Luke Bowden from The Sports Booth joins me to dissect the pool stage. All the talking points are here from the action to the referees and I also put Luke on the spot to get his predictions for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. Don’t miss out on this riveting episode! Peter says: I love the Springboks and rugby is one of my favourite sports. Although as a sports journalist I am supposed to remain neutral, I always like to point out that before I became a professional, I was just a big fan! I hold a Masters Degree in International Journalism so at least you know I should be able to ask a good question or two! My dream is to do this YouTube Channel permanently. You can help me out by liking the videos, subscribing to the channel and hitting the notification bell.
