England v USA (Kick-off 7.30pm). Coverage of the opening match of the tournament, as the Pool A teams meet at Stadium of Light in Sunderland. England were runners-up to New Zealand when the event was last held in 2022 and they will hope to emulate the All Blacks this time around by winning the competition as hosts. The Americans were eliminated after finishing third in their group ahead of Japan and below Canada and Italy three years ago, and face a tough test this time around with Australia and Samoa also in the pool, but they did finish fourth in 2017. Plus, the opening ceremony. Jacqui Hurley presents, with analysis from Darren Cave, Lindsay Peat and Niamh Briggs
