Although you may not know a huge amount about Tonga or Georgia, there will be a few familiar faces on show at Kingsholm.

Gloucester flanker Sione Kalamafoni will be running out at his home ground for Tonga this afternoon, while former Leicester player Steve Mafi and Exeter's Elvis Taione are also in their starting XV.

Georgia's team may be less recognisable to English rugby fans, however, with Sale Sharks hooker Shalva Mamukashvili the only man in the matchday 23 to have plied his trade in the Premiership.

One player I didn't mention in the team news is Georgia scrum-half Vasil Lobzhanidze, who is set to make Rugby World Cup history today.

The 18-year-old will become the youngest player to have appeared in the tournament against Tonga this afternoon, beating the record currently held by Thretton Palamo.

The American was 19 years old and eight days when he played against South Africa in 2007.

Tonga have made six changes to the team that started against Romania in their last World Cup warm-up match.

Winger Fetu'u Vainikolo, who keeps his place, will become Tonga's outright leading try scorer should he touch down against Georgia.

Georgia  head coach Milton Haig has made two changes to the side beaten by Japan on this ground a couple of weeks ago, with Giorgi Tkhilaishvili coming in at flanker and Tamaz Mchedlidze on the wing.

Full-back Merab Kvirikashvili will become the first Georgian to play at four World Cups, as well as his country's most-capped player on 86, at Kingsholm this afternoon.

We've got folk dancing, banjo bands and gents in tweed outside Kingsholm Stadium as locals and fans from both nations mill about. It's a great occasion.

We have four matches to bring you throughout today as the Rugby World Cup gets into full swing.

We begin at Kingsholm, where Tonga and Georgia do battle in Pool C, before popping across the Severn Bridge to the Millennium Stadium to cast our eye over Ireland against Canada in the Welsh capital.

We then turn our attentions towards Brighton's Amex Stadium, which plays host to South Africa v Japan in Pool B, before finally concluding the day's play back at Rugby HQ, where France play Italy at 20:00 BST.

And the best part? You can follow all of it right here on the BBC Sport website.

Victory over Fiji at Twickenham gave England the perfect start to their tournament, much to the relief of head coach Stuart Lancaster.

But now the introductions are done and the first 80 minutes played, I reckon it's about time to get properly stuck into the competition.

Welcome to our coverage of day two.

A ginormous rugby ball bursting through the earth, royal speeches, emotional anthems, a roaring start, a nerve-inducing comeback from the underdog but ultimately victory for the hosts.

The opening night of the 2015 Rugby World Cup ticked just about every box that needed ticking.
