Ireland and Scotland get their World Cup campaigns underway as they clash in Pool A. As the two favourites in the group, this match could very well end up deciding who tops the pool. When these sides met earlier in the year in the Six Nations Championship, Ireland ran out 22-13 winners. Hosts Japan, Russia and Samoa make up the rest of the pool, with Japan beating Russia 30-10 in the opening match of the tournament.
