Rugby World Cup 2015 tickets: five matches to target

You are an England fan


The pool games against Wales and Australia at Twickenham will be huge but a more convenient option for northern-based supporters is the final group fixture against Russia or Uruguay in Manchester on 10 October. Expect a party atmosphere – unless England have already been eliminated earlier that day …


You want to see the All Blacks


New Zealand will be criss-crossing the country and, among other destinations, are even visiting Darlington to train. On paper their two most competitive early fixtures will be against Argentina at Wembley on 20 September (if you fancy a nice late afternoon kick-off) and Tonga in Newcastle on 9 October (if you would like a little late Friday action on Tyneside)


You want to take the family


Given it will be school term-time you will ideally want a spiky weekend contest in daylight hours at an affordable price at a fun venue. Step forward Samoa v USA in Brighton on 20 September. Child tickets start from £7, adults from £15. The beach is free


You want to see biff


Pound for pound the two most physical sides in the world are probably South Africa and Samoa. Historically, they don’t like each other much either. Book a ringside seat at Villa Park on 26 September


You just want cheap tickets


For discerning skinflints Tonga v Namibia at Sandy Park in Exeter on 29 September is not a bad option. If you’re lucky, tickets for two adults and two kids should total £44, a friendly atmosphere is guaranteed and top-notch pasties are already being promised. Who cares who wins?
