"Our key priority is ensuring we give the teams a balanced and equitable schedule, which we believe we have achieved," said England 2015 chief executive Debbie Jevans.

"We have consulted with all our transport providers, our venues and host cities and we feel that we have put together a schedule that takes into account all of the needs of our stakeholders.

"Now that fans have the final piece of the jigsaw, they can start to plan their tournament, be it in stadia or watching from home, and make this a truly memorable celebration of rugby."

The first batch of tickets, numbering around 500,000, will be distributed in May via clubs affiliated to the Rugby Football Union, with tickets going on general sale the following September.
