It has been four years since New Zealand lifted the Webb Ellis Cup at Eden Park, and the All Blacks are favored to do so once again at Twickenham Stadium next month.
Before the 2015 Rugby World Cup final on October 31, though, there are still 47 matches to be played. Forty of those are pool play fixtures, as 20 nations will battle it out for eight quarterfinal spots.
Here’s a complete look at the schedule for those matches:
