2019 Rugby World Cup Live Stream Online Guide
So there we have it, the final four teams are:
- New Zealand
- England
- Wales and
- South Africa
in no particular order!
I think the wise money will be on one of the first two, but you never know. Wales seem to have ambled this far and haven’t really put in a convincing 80 minutes yet. Let’s hope they have one (dare I ask for two) left in them. Both New Zealand and England are looking rock solid, but only one of them will be left come Saturday evening. As for South Africa, they certainly could……..
The penultimate weekend of the 2019 Rugby World Cup is as follows:
Saturday, 26/10 0900 GMT
England vs New Zealand
Sunday, 27/10 0900 GMT
Wales vs South Africa
and don’t forget the clocks go back this Sunday morning in the UK, I mean, you wouldn’t want to get to the pub an hour early!
The 2019 Rugby World Cup would be in it’s 9th edition, hosted by Japan. The opening match of the Rugby World Cup will be played at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Chōfu, Tokyo. In total, there will be 48 games competed by the 20 best nations in rugby.
