With just days to go before the World Cup starts in Japan, excitement has reached fever pitch ahead of what promises to be one of the most open tournaments in history.

The world will not need to wait long for pulsating fixtures, as the All Blacks face South Africa on the second day of the RWC in one of the biggest games ever seen in the pool stages. With France facing Argentina and Ireland facing Scotland that same weekend, the tournament is set to start with a bang.

But with Japan straddling the timezones of both the UK and New Zealand, and with clocks changing in different parts of the world as the RWC goes on, timings may become complicated. So here is a fixture list of all matches in the coming months.
