The kick-off time in your region for every Rugby World Cup game
By Josh Raisey
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.

I think you might be right, especially if the AB's win
Go to commentsUnfortunately NZ lacks a centre field pairing that can break the line like Bundee can even though otherwise defensively sound. Argentina could well be a banana skin team for the Irish. Underestimate at their peril.
