The die is cast. As expected, the Blues will challenge South Africa on October 15, at the Stade de France, in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup. The reigning world champions will finish second in Pool B, behind Ireland, who dominated Scotland this Saturday (36-14) in Saint-Denis.
Note that the Irish have a meeting with New Zealand on October 14, also at the Stade de France. We will still have to wait to know the other two posters, knowing that England has every chance of facing Fiji. The Welsh will have to do battle with the winner of Japan-Argentina.
