The 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-finalists have been confirmed, with Fiji, France, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, Wales, England and Argentina progressing past the pool stages.

Fiji were the last team to qualify for the knockout stages.
The first quarterfinal will see Wales take on Argentina on Sunday. Wales topped Pool C winning all four of their fixtures while Los Pumas booked their place in the playoffs after beating Japan 39-27 in a do-or-die match.

The second quarterfinal will be between Pool A runners-up, New Zealand, who will face Pool B winners Ireland, with the latter heading into the match on a 17-Test winning streak.

In the third quarterfinal, Flying Fijians will face England on early Monday morning.

Fiji famously defeated England in a World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham and will look to repeat that performance after finishing as runners-up in Pool C.

And the last quarterfinal will see France facing defending champions South Africa.
