How it Works?

Before the tournament starts, there is a basic some run-down:

The opening group stage of the competition watch 20 teams attempt to battle their way out of four Pools – A, B, C, and D. Every Pool holds five teams and only two can advance into the knockout rounds.

There are total 20 teams involved in the tournament; they are divided into four groups of five, and the two teams that finish top of the table in their pool after the group matches to progress to the quarter-finals.

The Pool of England is particularly tricky having been drawn in C with Argentina and France. Here, we can say that one of the big players of rugby will suffer the ignominy of going home early.

The original pool draw was made on May 2017, with the 12 qualified teams split into various bands depending on their World Rugby Ranking at the time, with New Zealand, England, Australia and Ireland in the top band.
