Ireland v Japan

Ireland v Japan (Kick-off 12.00pm). Jacqui Hurley presents coverage of the opening Pool C match, staged at Franklin's Gardens, Northampton, which will go a long way to deciding which side progresses to the quarter-finals. New Zealand are the favourites to top the pool standings and, with only the top two qualifying for the knockout stage, defeat here for either side would be a huge blow to their aspirations. With analysis from Bernard Jackman, Niamh Briggs and Hannah Tyrell

Women's Rugby World Cup airs on RTE2 HD at 11:30 AM, Sunday 24 August. (Live.)
