This week on Rugby Direct, Elliott Smith and Liam Napier count down to the opening weekend of the 2023 Rugby World Cup - looking at the All Blacks pool as well as the other three pools and picking who is likely to emerge from there into the quarters.

We also touch on our earliest and favourite Rugby World Cup memories and pick who will win the tournament.

Elliott and Liam also comb through NZR's governance review and what it means for the sport in the future and what tangible change might take place.
