Before that, there’s South Africa v USA at 4.45pm on the big screen, plus live music and entertainment in between and after all the Rugby action.

The Fanzone opens at 3pm and the programme includes live music from Billy Bottle and the Multiple, Street Heat and Moob. 

The Fanzone programme continues on Saturday (10 October), with screenings of Samoa v Scotland at 2.30pm, Australia v Wales at 4.45, and England v Uruguay at 8pm. There's also an Exeter Five Nations Parade starting at 1.15pm from the Cathedral Green, proceeding down the High Street and finishing in the Fanzone with a finale.
