In an eagerly anticipated showdown set to be a highlight of the Rugby World Cup 2023, Japan and Argentina are preparing to meet on Sunday, October 8, at the Stade de Beaujoire in Nantes.

This meeting between two rugby giants is not only a major moment for their tournament aspirations but also a chance to reignite a historic rivalry that has left an indelible mark on the Rugby World Cup stage.

Looking back at their history in the tournament, a notable match took during the 1999 World Cup. Argentina defeated their opponents 33-12 in a fiercely contested final group stage game in Pool D. The Albicelestes, have a rich rugby tradition and have played 41 matches in the Rugby World Cup since it began in New Zealand. Interestingly, they have never had a draw in their record. With 21 wins and 20 losses, they have a strong win rate of 51%, showing their strength on the global rugby stage.

Japan, on the other hand, are a rising force in international rugby. They have played 33 matches in total, winning 8, drawing 2, and losing 23, also giving them a win rate of 51%. The Brave Blossoms' breakthrough moment came in the 2019 World Cup when they reached the quarterfinals, capturing global attention and solidifying their status.

Therefore, as both teams prepare to renew their rivalry in an upcoming match, the stakes are high.
