Samoa v Chile: Rugby World Cup 2023 – live

Samoa have had to wait patiently to join the World Cup party, but could prove to be one of the tournament’s most intriguing sides. Boosted by changes to World Rugby’s eligibility rules, they arrive in France with former Australia and New Zealand internationals in their ranks, and hopes of making a first quarter-final appearance since 1995.

They kick off their campaign against Chile, this World Cup’s only debutants. The underdogs in an otherwise closely matched pool, the South Americans are built differently, with almost every player based at Santiago club side Selknam, founded just four years ago. Well beaten by Japan in their opener, Los Cóndores are still capable of causing a shock – they beat mainstays Canada and the USA in thrilling qualifiers to get here.

Another big weekend of rugby kicks off in Bordeaux at 2pm (BST), so stick around.
