Rugby World Cup Pool A is home to hosts Australia and rivals New Zealand, who are joined by Chile and Rugby World Cup debutants, Hong Kong China.
Rugby World Cup Pool B will be an incredibly physical pool, with reigning World Champions South Africa joined by three European sides: Italy, Georgia and Romania.
Meanwhile, Rugby World Cup Pool C contains Argentina, Fiji, Spain and Canada. The latter of these teams returns to Rugby World Cup action after missing out on the 2023 edition of the tournament.
Rugby World Cup Pool D will see celtic rivals Ireland and Scotland face off, with Uruguay and Portugal joining them in an incredibly competitive pool.
Rugby World Cup Pool E looks to be the most open pool, with perennial favourites France joined by Japan, USA and Samoa, all of whom are more than capable of causing an upset.
Finally, Rugby World Cup Pool F contains another storied rivalry, with neighbours England and Wales set to face off at a Rugby World Cup once again. They are joined by Zimbabwe, who return to the World Cup for the first time since 1991, and regulars Tonga.
This is the first time there will be a Pool E and F at the Rugby World Cup, as the competition expands to 24 teams.
