What channel is Japan vs Scotland rugby? World Cup TV information and live stream details

It's official - we have a game.

Scotland will take on Japan in the Rugby World Cup today and know they must win to stand any chance of progression.

The Scots need to take four more points than the host nation to progress, meaning if they claim victory without a bonus point and Japan lose by seven points or less, they will crash out.

A draw or a defeat will see them eliminated regardless - but the situation is now in Scotland's hands after World Cup bosses gave the game the green light amid the chaos of Typhoon Hagibis.

Here's all you need to know ahead of the game...
