And we're off!

Fiji in their traditional white, Uruguay in light blue shirts.

Our referee this morning is Pascal Gauzere from France - what will the next 80 minutes have in store?

Fiji have won each of their three previous Test meetings with Uruguay by an average margin of 36 points per game, including a 68-7 triumph when they last clashed in November 2018.

This will be the second consecutive Rugby World Cup at which Fiji and Uruguay will clash after having never met at the tournament prior to 2015; Fiji ran out to a 47-15 win in Milton Keynes in their previous tournament meeting.

I wonder if Kamaishi has quite the same number of confusing roundabouts as Milton Keynes?

I'm expecting Fiji to throw the ball around and play some expansive attacking rugby.

Not sure what to expect from Uruguay, it's their first game in this World Cup and if history is anything to go by the first game for every team is that they put a huge amount of effort in.

Anthems done, but there's still one more pre-match ritual to complete.

Fiji will perform their version of the Haka, known as the Cibi.

Big fan of that Uruguay anthem - big, pacey intro before it kicks into the first verse and then a roaring finish.

Everyone of those players sung it with terrific energy!

An impeccably observed minute's silence there.

Almost ready for kick-off, but first here come the national anthems.

Fiji up first....

Excitement building inside the Kamaishi Stadium as the two sides make their way out.

As mentioned, this ground was built in the wake of the 2011 tsunami and earthquake as a memorial and there will be a minute's silence to remember victims of the disaster.

As mentioned, Uruguay kick-off their tournament this morning while Fiji are looking to make amends for their defeat by Australia on Saturday.

Both these sides will of course be looking to upset the current leaders Wales and Australia and Fiji have happy memories of doing just that to Wales in France back in 2007.

Could history repeat itself?

Uruguay are led by Argentine coach Esteban Meneses.

Playing in their fourth World Cup, they come into the tournament having not played a competitive match since June, when they lost to both Namibia and Spain in Montevideo.

They are led by second row Juan Manuel Gaminara.

Los Teros have only managed two wins (against Spain and Georgia) in their previous 11 World Cup fixtures.

Uruguay: Mieres; Freitas, Cat, Vilaseca, Silva; Berchesi, Arata; Sanguinetti, Kessler, Arbelo, Dotti, Leindeker, Gaminara (capt), Civetta, Diana.

Fiji coach John McKee has rung the changes as his side look to get off the mark in Pool D.

McKee has named just three players from the team that started last Saturday's 39-21 defeat by Australia and gives World Cup debuts to Mesulame Dolokoto, Jale Vatubua and Filipo Nakosi.

Also in the side are Cornwall-born brothers Josh and Sam Matavesi, whose father Sereli was a coconut farmer who settled in the UK after touring with the Fijian Barbarians in the 1980s.

Fiji: Veitokani; Nakosi, Radrada, Vatubua, Goneva; J Matavesi, Seniloli; Mawi, Dolokoto, Saulo, Ratuva, Ratuniyarawa, Waqaniburotu (capt), Voka, Nakarawa.

Almost wiped off the map by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the small rugby-mad Japanese town of Kamaishi hosts its first Rugby World Cup match this morning in a powerful symbol of recovery.

Famous for mining, fishing and rugby, the coastal town in north-eastern Japan - which has often drawn parallels with Wales - lost more than 1,000 people in the tsunami that washed away the majority of its infrastructure.

Now the town of just 34,000 people hosts Fiji and Uruguay in Pool D at the Kamaishi Recovery Memorial stadium, a 16,000-seater stadium built on the ruins of a former school destroyed in the tsunami and the World Cup's only purpose-built venue.

BBC Scotland's Chris McLaughlin has been to Kamaishi to find out more about its construction.

A very warm good morning to you on day six of the Rugby World Cup.

Just the one match for you today and it comes from Pool D, the same group which Wales and Australia are in, so we could have interested lookers-on from those two nations.

Fiji and Uruguay face off in a bid to get themselves off the mark with a win at this tournament and potentially set themselves up to upset a big name later on.

Kick-off is on the way in the next 15 minutes, put that kettle on and grab yourself a bite to eat and settle in for this before you start your working day.
