The 2023 Rugby World Cup gets underway on 8 September 2023 and will conclude with the final on 21 October 2023. The tournament is being hosted by France in nine different cities. After hosting the 2007 World Cup, this is the second time France will host the sports showpiece event.
This will be the 10th edition of the Rugby World Cup after making its debut in 1987 and has been played every four years since.
New Zealand's form over the last 12 months has made the bookies reconsider their favourites tag. France are now favourites at 3.50 with the All Blacks paying 3.75. Ireland, the number one ranked team in the World are priced at 6.00 with bet.co.za
Defending Champions, South Africa are also paying 6.00 while losing 2019 finalists, England are at 6.50. Sacking Eddie Jones less than a year out from the tournament might prove to be an error...or a masterpiece.
2023 Rugby World Cup Betting Odds
France are favourites on home soil with New Zealand ready to pounce in second place. World No.1 Ireland and defending champions, South Africa also offer some good value.

2023 Rugby World Cup Tips
New Zealand are the early front-runners to claim the big prize in 2023, the odds can be considered skewed at the current time (February 2021). The All Blacks were not at their best leading up to the 2019 event and then underperformed during the tournament as England knocked them out at the quarter-final stage.
South Africa have yet to play since their 32-12 victory over England in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. COVID-19 has ensured that the Springboks can’t compete but as rugby slowly returns to normality, their odds could change significantly during 2021.
If you are looking for early value on the 2023 Rugby World Cup, France is the way to go. They have yet to win a World Cup but have been the losing finalists on three occasions (1987, 1999 & 2011).
France are not only hosting the 2023 Rugby World Cup, they also have a squad full of quality and youth. At 4.33 they represent the best value at the moment.
England are another team to watch out for. They seem to have stagnated a bit under Eddie Jones but the English often produce their best rugby at the World Cup.
England are the only Northern Hemisphere side to have ever won the World Cup (2003) while they have also been in the 1991, 2007 and 2019 finals.
Backing Ireland, Australia, Wales, Argentina or Scotland right now is risky considering the form, but with two years to change that form, the risk may just pay off.
