Ireland v Japan

Ireland v Japan (Kick-off 12.00pm). Ugo Monye 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 Sene Naoupu and Simon Middleton, commentary by Clare Thomas, Anna Caplice and Katy Daley-McLean, and reports from Elma Smit

Live Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 airs on BBC Two Wales at 11:45 AM, Sunday 24 August. (Live, subtitles.)
