Plenty in at York Community Stadium as the players walk out. I can see loads of Spanish flags.

New Zealand head coach Allan Bunting on BBC Sport: "We want to get going and start strong.

"We're focused on Spain, we've got a job here."

Spain have already played one big-hitter this summer, when they faced England in Leicester in a World Cup warm-up match.

On that day England ran in 15 tries as they walloped a limited Spain side 97-7 in a match that quickly morphed from a contest into a glorified training session.

Nothing's won in the first week of a World Cup, but looking at previous results, New Zealand might want to use this game to lay down a marker.

Big-hitters England, Australia and Canada have all already started brilliantly by racking up huge tournament-opening wins.

Hosts and favourites England delivered a formidable messaged to their rivals by running in 11-tries to beat two-time finalists USA 69-7 on Friday night.

World number two Canada thrashed Fiji 65-7 with winger Julian Schell scoring a staggering six tries in the second half to cement herself as a player to watch this summer.

And three-time semi-finalists Australia walloped Samoa 73-0 in what was the Wallaroos' biggest ever World Cup win.

Should be an absolute cracker this, I'm excited to see just how good New Zealand are this summer.

We'll have TV coverage from 17:15 BST. Until then, time for some team news....
