France Rugby World Cup: France, Ireland, and reigning winners South Africa are the leading contenders, but multiple former winners New Zealand and Australia are established, tournament performers. The French have yet to win the World Cup, having lost three finals. And when they staged the 2007 edition, Les Bleus were twice beaten by Argentina as the Pumas over third.

'Not perfect
France's year-ending 35-17 defeat of Japan was their 13th successive
Test victory, a sequence including a 2022 Six Nations Grand Slam and fine wins
this month over Australia and South Africa.
"It's not perfect, we have to work more and continue to
do what we did this Autumn," said France No 8 Gregory Alldritt.
"(We must) keep our feet on the ground by not thinking
we're something we're not."

South Africa, without several first-select players for a
match outside of the Autumn window, still ended the year with a complete 27-13
win over England, their well-beaten adversaries in the 2019 Rugby World Cup
final in Japan, at Twickenham on Saturday.
Emerging wing Kurt-Lee Arendse scored the seventh try in as
many Tests, with a gifted back division given a chance to shine by a characteristically
strong Springbok pack.
"It is not that much of a difference but we are just
seeing opportunities which we didn't in the past," said South Africa
captain Siya Kolisi.
Ireland's 13-10 win over Australia this month destined them to
become the first team since England in 2002 to defeat the All Blacks, the
Springboks, and the Wallabies in a calendar year.

England went on to win the 2003 Rugby World Cup but Ireland has
yet to make a semi-final.
But an 'ugly' win over Australia, reached without veteran
fly-half Jonathan Sexton, prompted Ireland coach Andy Farrell to say: "We
found a way and that's what good sides do when they're not at their best."
England, skippered by Farrell's son, Owen, had a poor
November, their only win coming against an outmuscled Japan.
They were beaten first-up by World Cup pool adversaries Argentina and were well behind New Zealand before, from 19 points down with 10 minutes left, snatching an unlikely 25-25 draw.
Yet if opposite Argentina results in France, they could walk
a similar path to the final as they did Japan, where England beat Australia and
New Zealand in the neighborhood and semi-finals correspondingly.
Jones' 'imperfect' plan
England coach Eddie Jones, for whom 2019 was his third participation
in a World Cup final, insisted after Saturday's match: "I've got a plan
for how England can win the World Cup, but it doesn't go in a perfect
line."
As for New Zealand, their draw with England sealed a year
where Coach Ian Foster almost lost his job following overthrows by Ireland and
Argentina.
"We played some great rugby and in our mind, we should
have walked away with a win and we didn't get it in that last 10 (minutes),"
said Foster, who earlier in November nearly oversaw the All Blacks' first loss
to Scotland.
Constancy remains an issue for Argentina, their 30-29 win
over England followed by a 20-13 defeat by Wales.
Australia endured a brutal autumn
timetable of five Tests in as many weeks,
Australia endured a brutal autumn timetable of five Tests in
as many weeks, including a surprise loss to Italy, and a raft of injuries meant
the Wallabies writhed to field a Matchday 23 against Wales.
Yet they still came from 34-13 down after 58 minutes to
score 26 unanswered points for an extraordinary 39-34 win on Saturday.
"I guess we could have lost all five or won all five,
that's the sort of tour it's been," said Australia coach Dave Rennie.
For Wales, another Cardiff collapse came conventional after
their shock 13-12 loss to Georgia and meant they had won just three of 12 Tests
this year, with Coach Wayne Pivac facing an uncertain future.

World Cup rocked by bullying indictments

Cup, with the intelligence of alleged ‘bullying’ of staff. World Rugby said in

French newspaper L’Equipe said it spoke to the
staff of the Groupement internet Community France 2023, who worked at the Paris
HQs and they described a culture of fear and “management by terror”.
At the center of the claims were France’s 2023 Rugby
World Cup chief Claude Atcher and his chief of staff Marie Houzot.
World Rugby reacted with a court declaration saying it was
“concerned” about allegations of the working conditions within the organizing
committee.
“World Rugby is concerned by media intelligence about alleged working conditions within the France 2023 organizing group,” read the statement. “The well-being of the rugby family is supreme and World Rugby has formally raised the allegations with the Board of the France 2023 Organising Committee and the FFR.

relations and the organization of the GIP France 2023 teams, in charge of the
