Rugby World Cup: Springboks set sights on All Blacks in final – 'You're going to need 30 points'

Deep down the Springboks know they can dance with the All Blacks on the biggest rugby occasion of the year, no matter how ungainly the defending World Cup champions were in stumbling their way there.  


Rugby World Cup 2023 is here, where the best rugby teams in the world will head to France for their shot at glory.

Sky is the official broadcaster of Rugby World Cup 2023 in Aotearoa New Zealand, with all 48 matches available live and on-demand via Sky Sport and streaming on Sky Sport Now. Six matches will also be live free-to-air on Sky Open, with another six matches delayed.

We will be bringing customers te reo Māori commentary on every All Blacks / Kapa o Pango match, LIVE on Sky Sport 2. Join Te Aorere Pēwhairangi (Ngāti Porou) and Tūmamao Harawira (Ngāpuhi and Te Whānau-ā-Apanui) for an immersive te reo Māori commentary experience. Viewers can choose to view our English language broadcast on Sky Sport 1 or select te reo Māori on Sky Sport 2, or toggle between the two.

The All Blacks take on the hosts France in what is set to be a thrilling opener between two of the tournament favourites. As contenders from around the globe aim for glory, a few teams emerge as the favourites. The likes of France, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia are well known as the powerhouses in the rugby world.

With the competition at its peak, no team will have an easy run. The unpredictability of rugby makes every match a thrilling spectacle, with the potential for underdogs to rise and giants to fall. 

Make sure you get up for it and don’t miss a moment on Sky Sport.
