Wales faces Australia this Sunday September 24 in a match that is already decisive for the rest of this 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Wales have started their 2023 World Cup well with a full card and 10 points taken in two matches. The Red Dragons first beat Fiji to the wire (32-26) before getting rid of the Portuguese trap (28-8). Warren Gatland’s players could therefore take a big step towards the quarter-finals.
But on the other hand, Australia is in a more uncomfortable situation and is approaching this poster with its back to the wall. Indeed, the Wallabies lost to Fiji in the previous meeting (15-22). However, Eddie Jones’ players started the competition with a success against Georgia (35-15). Victory is therefore imperative for the double world champions. “Look, there are ten times more people than usual at the press conference because people smell the blood. That makes it all the more exciting,” said Eddie Jones, who has the pressure on his shoulders. .
The Wales – Australia match will start at 9 p.m. this Sunday, September 24. It will take place at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon.
It is TF1 which will broadcast this poster of Group C of the 2023 Rugby World Cup between Wales and Australia. Wayne Barnes will be the referee.
Two streaming broadcasts will be available to follow this Wales – Australia. Indeed, MyCanal and MyTf1 will also broadcast the match via their digital platform.
