TOKYO (Reuters) - With 200 days to go until the start of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan, excitement is building among the 13,000 volunteers, the oldest and the youngest among them vouched on Monday.

The volunteers' uniform was unveiled with New Zealand manufacturer Canterbury saying it focused on making them suitable for a range of climatic conditions as more than 2,000 kilometres separate host cities Sapporo in Hokkaido with Kumamoto in the south.
