Eight teams, four matches, two venues, more than 300,000 spectators - and one enormous weekend of rugby.

The 2015 Rugby World Cup's quarter-finals begin on Saturday at 16:00 BST when Wales face two-time champions South Africa at Twickenham.
Ireland, aiming for their first semi-final, play Argentina at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Sunday.
Scotland play England's conquerors Australia while holders New Zealand meet France in the other two games.

Quarter-final matches
Semi finals: SA/Wal v NZ/Fra; Ire/Arg v Aus/Sco
South Africa v Wales	Saturday, 16:00 BST	Twickenham
New Zealand v France	Saturday, 20:00 BST	Cardiff
Ireland v Argentina	Sunday, 13:00 BST	Cardiff
Australia v Scotland	Sunday, 16:00 BST	Twickenham

A Rugby World Cup record 2.4m tickets have already been sold for the tournament - filling 97% of the seats on offer - and all four quarter-final matches are expected to be sell-outs despite the absence of eliminated hosts England.
In fact, England's elimination has increased the availability of tickets  for Wales v South Africa and Scotland v Australia - the two quarter-finals that could have featured Stuart Lancaster's side - with fans selling them on at near face value  rather than watch their rivals' matches.
In addition to those packing out the 74,000-capacity Millennium Stadium and 81,000-seater Twickenham Stadium, thousands more will watch the action from fan zones in Cardiff and Richmond as well as in Exeter, Newham and Rugby, with millions watching on television.
