Rugby World Cup wall chart 2019: Fixtures and schedule as England plot route to glory in Japan

The Rugby World Cup kicks off in Japan on Friday as the tournament takes place in Asia for the first time ever.

The All Blacks are chasing an unprecedented third straight title, while England, Ireland and Wales are among those with realistic hopes of toppling the dominant holders and getting their hands on the Webb Ellis trophy.

You can plot your team's possible path to glory with Standard Sport's Rugby World Cup wall chart by following this link.

Alternatively, check out our comprehensive fixture guide and track results throughout the competition with our interactive timeline below.

Jones's England side are now out in Japan and begin their Rugby World Cup campaign against Tonga on Sunday before further pool matches against USA, Argentina and France.

England's chief aim will be banishing memories of 2015, when as hosts they failed to qualify from their pool. Progression this time will set them up for a likely quarter-final against Wales or Australia, with victory there throwing them into a possible meeting with New Zealand in the semis.

Either download, print and fill in our wall chart or follow the tournament interactively with Standard Sport. We'll be covering every game live through to the final in Yokohama on November 2.
