Rugby World Cup 2019 squads: Every player from every team announced for Japan

The Independent will bring you every 31-man final squad list as and when they are announced by each of the 20 nations heading to Japan

The 2019 Rugby World Cup is less than a month away, with teams beginning to name their final 31-man squads ahead of the 8 September deadline.

In what is the most nerve-wracking time for World Cup hopefuls, head coaches around the globe will have to make the difficult decisions of who does and doesn't go to Japan next month.

A number of teams have already announced their final squads for the World Cup, but there are still plenty left to go with the likes of New Zealand and Wales taking as much time as necessary to make the last-minute calls.
