LIVE SCREENINGS OF THE FINAL OF RUGBY WORLD CUP 2015 TO TAKE PLACE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
The Final of Rugby World Cup 2015, which will see New Zealand take on Australia at Twickenham Stadium on October 31 kick off 1600, will be screened live in the Exeter, Richmond, Rugby and Trafalgar Square Fanzones.
 
Fans are encouraged to plan their day and enjoy the build-up to the matches, including food and drink stalls, sponsor activations, big screens and Rugby activities ahead of the main event, kicking off at 16:00, in one of the official locations. Entry is free at all the official Fanzones and will be the place to be for those without match tickets as thousands of fans gather together to celebrate Rugby.
 
The Trafalgar Square Fanzone, which opened last weekend and has already welcomed 45,000 visitors, will host Rugby-themed activities, sponsor attractions and entertainment, culminating in a live screening of the Final in a unique setting. Before and after the match action, Trafalgar Square will be the focus of a range of celebrations to mark the occasion, including a live MC, link-up with Twickenham Stadium and a few surprises for the fans following the Final.
 
In other parts of the country – the Old Deer Park Fanzone in Richmond, just down the road from Twickenham Stadium -  will also be open from midday on Saturday. Partially undercover with a large marquee, four giant screens, bars, sponsor activations, a funfair and other activities, there is something for everyone. Over 150,000 people have already enjoyed the atmosphere and there is more on offer this weekend with Rugby guests, live music and DJs on the Hub stage before, during and after the match.  

The hugely popular Fanzones in Exeter and Rugby will also welcome thousands of visitors to watch the match and be part of this historic occasion when either New Zealand or Australia will become the first-ever team to win three Rugby World Cups. In addition Exeter, Richmond and Rugby will all screen the Bronze Final between South Africa and Argentina live from The Stadium, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, kick off 2000.
  
The Tournament has already seen over two million spectators at the 13 match venues, and over 900,000 fans have also visited the official Fanzones located in each host city, as well as in Rugby, the birthplace of the game. The semi-final weekend saw over 60,000 people visit the official Fanzones and more are expected this weekend. Click here for more on Fanzones.
 
Managing Director of England Rugby 2015, Stephen Brown, said: "Fanzones across the country have been an integral part of the celebrations surrounding Rugby World Cup 2015 and Exeter, Rugby, Richmond and Trafalgar Square will be buzzing on Saturday. The atmosphere promises to be incredible with fans of these two great sides and many more mixing together in the true spirit of the Game.”
