Hello. Time for the European champions to get their tournament underway. This is only the second time the Netherlands have qualified for a World Cup, following on from their appearance at the 2015 edition, but they have plenty of big names and are expected to go far in France. They’re in a tough group, however, and will need to be on their game to deal with New Zealand, who are back on firmer ground after wobbling in 2018. There’s a genuine feeling that New Zealand could win the whole thing, though that belief will be severely tested here. Indeed a few burning questions should get answered over the next few hours. It should be fascinating.
Kick-off: 2pm BST, 3pm CET.
