Everything is ready in France for the Rugby World Cup which kicks off on 8 September.

Forty-eight games, 20 teams and a dream for Italy too: to win.

The Azzurri are in group A with New Zealand, Uruguay, Namibia and France. The first match will be played on Saturday the 9th against Namibia. The debut for the host country instead is against the All Blacks, among the favorites to win.

«What to dream better than New Zealand? A team that has never lost a match in the World Cup qualifying phase - said the coach of the French national team Fabien Galthié - Friday's match will be a celebration, a joy for us».
