Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan - England Pool Games Tour for you to use

The Rugby World Cup 2019 is being held in Japan - the first time it has been held in Asia.


I applied for tickets for the whole tournament via the ballot, but was unlucky and only got England pool tickets. I had very little knowledge of Japan, so have had to do extensive research. Below is a draft of my plan to follow England for the pool stages.
