While New Zealand, Australia and South Africa have booked their places in the quarter-finals with ease, the Six Nations sides are all still battling to try to secure a berth in the last eight.
Hosts France will make the quarters if they beat Georgia but Ireland are face an early exit unless they can get a bonus point against Argentina and prevent the Pumas getting one themselves.
England and Wales are confronted with tricky all-or-nothing encounters against Pacific islanders Tonga and Fiji, while Scotland and Italy go head-to-head in search of a place alongside the All Blacks in their pool.
