The XV of France will face Wales, first in Pool D, in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup, Sunday, October 20 in Oita (south).

The Welsh have completed the unbeaten first phase; they won a bonus against Uruguay (35-13) on Sunday in Kumamoto.

The Welsh win gives Australia the second place in Pool D, which faces England in the quarter-finals on 19 October.

The poster of the last two quarter-finals will be determined after the match Japan-Scotland, played in the evening (19:45 local, 12:45 French) in Yokohama.

Ireland (Pool A), New Zealand and South Africa (Pool B) are already qualified. The last ticket is played between Japanese and Scots in Kumamoto.

The match was confirmed at the beginning of the day by the match organizers.

The match, at the center of a controversy between Japanese and Scots, was announced at 11:00 local, a little more than eight hours before the kickoff of the match, following an inspection mission of the stadium and its lawn.

The match will be played in Yokohama, a suburb of Tokyo, a zone hit by Typhoon Hagibis that has killed at least 14 people and caused enormous damage.
