Welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the match between Ireland and New Zealand. A poster worthy of a final, but which will “only” be a quarter-final.
What is it about ? From the second quarter-final of the 2023 World Cup, between Ireland, the first nation in the world ranking, and New Zealand, three-time winner of the competition. Facing the All Blacks, the Clover XV will try to end their curse: the Irish have never made it past the quarter-finals of a World Cup.
Or ? At the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis). You know, the venue in which the Blues will be crowned in two weeks.
At what time ? The match kicks off at 9 p.m.
On which channel ? TF1.
Who’s live? The hinge of the day will be made up of Denis Ménétrier and Valentin Moinard (given their size, it is better, in any case, to keep them away from the forward pack). Clément Martel and Martin Untersinger will be close to the action in the stadium stands.
