The first ever Rugby World Cup took place in 1987, and the tournament has grown ever since and is now watched by an audience of tens of millions, as well as over two million attending the matches to watch all the action from the stadiums.
The first Rugby World Cup was jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand and was duly won by the All Blacks. Indeed southern hemisphere teams won each of the first four Rugby World Cup tournaments, and it wasn't until 2003 that a northern hemisphere nation won.
That famous occasion saw England edge out hosts Australia in a thrilling final in Sydney, with star hooker Jonny Wilkinson scoring a drop goal with just seconds remaining.
The most recent World Cup took place in Japan and was a massive success, with South Africa beating England in the final in Yokohama, a match watched by in excess of 70,000 spectators.
The upcoming 2023 Rugby World Cup takes place in France, and there are a host of great group-stage matches that are sure to be of great interest to rugby union fans.
Here are five of the biggest and best matches from the Pool Stage
8th September France vs New Zealand
23rd September South Africa vs Ireland
24th September Wales vs Australia
9th September England vs Argentina
7th October Ireland vs Scotland
20 teams take part in the Rugby World Cup, of which 12 automatically qualify based on their group stage performance in the previous tournament.
The remaining eight places are taken by regional playoffs, and these twenty teams are then split into four groups of five teams, sorted by seeding to avoid overloading any one pool with top-quality sides.
The teams who finish in the top two places in each group make it through to the first knockout round, which is the quarter-finals, which then leads to the semi-finals.
The losing semi-finalists take part in the bronze final, and the winners play it out in the Rugby World Cup final.
The first Rugby World Cup group stage game for 2023 takes place on the 8th of September, and the pool stages come to a close a month later on the 8th of October.
If you are a big rugby fan, then for a major tournament, such as the 2023 Rugby World Cup, you should look to make the experience as unforgettable as possible. That might mean you start by making contact with a travel advisor to set up travel packages that cover your flights and hotels for a series of games. Then all you need to do is visit SeatPick to secure your tickets.
SeatPick has access to thousands of tickets on sale and offers you the best opportunity to secure the best seats in the house, all of which will make your Rugby World Cup trip an occasion that will live long in the memory.
The average starting price for Rugby World Cup tickets is 56, but the costs generally vary according to who is taking part in the chosen game and which stadium it takes place in.
For instance, in 2023, France will play New Zealand in the opening group stage match in Paris, and tickets for that clash will be far more expensive than the following game in that pool, which sees Italy take on Namibia in Saint-Etienne.
