The southern-hemisphere sides have dominated the tournament since its inception, with New Zealand, South Africa and Australia the major players. England remain the only side from the northern-hemisphere to win the competition, and they came close to repeating that trick in 2019, only to be outclassed by South Africa in the final.

In 2023, South Africa were able to defend their crown as they secured the glory by downing New Zealand and lifting the trophy again in France.

The 2023 Rugby World Cup was arguably the most exciting and least predictable competition in the history of the game. South Africa were able to defend the crown they won in 2019 and they arrive at $4.00 to make it three in a row. 

New Zealand are the current favourites to avenge their defeat in the final at $3.50, while France and Ireland are both $6.50 to bounce back from their disappointing tournaments in 2023. Australia were eliminated in the group in France, but they arrive at $7.50, while England, who finished third in France, are available at $9.00. 

South Africa will look to defend the crown they secured in 2023, while they will fancy their chances of making it three wins in a row after also being the last team standig in Japan in 2019.
