Of course the knockout phase fixtures will not be confirmed until the tournament plays out. However, the route to the final is still laid out with kick-off times and venues sealed.

South Africa will be bidding for a record-extending fifth trophy, while the likes of France and Argentina will be hoping to win for the first time.
