The seventh Rugby World Cup kicks off on Friday, Sept. 9th, when hosts New Zealand play Tonga in Auckland.
Great news for rugby fans in Canada is that TSN will be broadcasting all the games. Bad news is that New Zealand is on the other side of the world, so many games will be in the middle of the night.
However, some early afternoon start times mean that some games will air at prime times in Toronto.
One example in particular is on Sunday, Oct. 2nd, when Canada play hosts New Zealand. That game will start at 10:30pm in Toronto on the Saturday night before, Oct. 1st.
