Who will win the 2023 Rugby World Cup? This algorithm uses 10,000 simulations to rank the contenders

Despite New Zealand’s record loss to South Africa in August, All Blacks fans can take heart from statistical modelling that has them as favourites to win the 2023 Rugby World Cup (RWC).

Key Points: 
  • Despite New Zealand’s record loss to South Africa in August, All Blacks fans can take heart from statistical modelling that has them as favourites to win the 2023 Rugby World Cup (RWC).
  • According to Rugby Vision, a well-tested algorithm I developed to predict outcomes for major rugby competitions, New Zealand has a 33.5% chance of winning their fourth RWC title.
  • And while the system has some similarities with the official world rugby rankings, it is less sensitive to the outcome of any particular game.

Global rugby rankings

    • The Rugby Vision rankings are a custom “points exchange” system based on past game results and home advantage (if applicable).
    • Currently, the official world rankings have Ireland at the top, followed in order by South Africa, France and New Zealand.

Predicting game results

    • In the Rugby Vision rankings, differences between rating points for any two teams equal the predicted score margin for a game played at a neutral venue.
    • This means that in the opening game of this year’s RWC – between France and New Zealand in Paris – New Zealand is expected to win by three points.
    • This estimate means that if the game was played 100 times, New Zealand would win by three points on average.

RWC simulations

      Long-range goals: can the FIFA World Cup help level the playing field for all women footballers?
    • To account for uncertainty in game outcomes, the system simulates the RWC 10,000 times in accordance with tournament rules.
    • Estimated probabilities of each team reaching various stages of the 2023 RWC are shown below.

Pool predictions and beyond

    • In Pool A, heavyweights New Zealand (98.9%) and France (97.9%) are highly likely to qualify for the quarterfinals.
    • South Africa and Ireland are the likely quarter-finalists from Pool B, but there is a 26.3% chance Scotland will send one of those teams home early.
    • In Pool D, England and Argentina are favourites to make the quarterfinals, with Japan and Samoa possible spoilers.
    • After the initial round, Pool A teams will play opponents from Pool B in the quarterfinals.

Towards the final whistle

    • Conversely, Pool C and D teams with high semifinalist chances have relatively low finalist probabilities.
    • For example, England has a 55.0% chance of playing in a semifinal but only a 9.7% chance of being a finalist.
    • In short, the draw helps Pool C and D teams go deeper into the tournament, but does not increase their chances of winning.
