A capsule look at all 20 Rugby World Cup teams in France. The 10th tournament starts on Friday.
Prospects: Georgia remains without doubt the best side in Europe outside of the Six Nations. Since the 2019 World Cup, the Lelos have won every Rugby Europe, the tier below the Six Nations, and 12 of the last 13 titles. Under coach Maisashvili the last four years, they haven’t lost a Rugby Europe match. Tbilisi club the Black Lion have also won both editions of the Rugby Europe Super Cup. The Black Lion have 15 in the World Cup squad.
Coach: Patrice Lagisquet. One of France’s best wingers in the 1980s. In coaching, led Biarritz to three Top 14 titles and has only burnished his reputation by qualifying Portugal for the World Cup.Prospects: Os Lobos, the Wolves, were the 20th and last team to qualify in Dubai last November when they knocked out the United States with a last-gasp penalty by Samuel Marques. In 2007, they returned home from their first World Cup appearance winless but celebrities, who launched a rugby boom.
World Cup high: 2007 in Lyon. Portugal quick-tapped a penalty and inched closer to the New Zealand tryline until a pile went over. After a lengthy video review, the try was awarded to replacement prop Rui Cordeiro and the 40,000-strong crowd went nuts. The All Blacks won 108-13, and Os Lobos won the 5-a-side soccer game afterward.
