Fans and rugby clubs across Suffolk are getting ready for England's World Cup opener.

The Lions get their campaign underway against Argentina tomorrow from 8pm- at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille

Joanna Williams is on the committee at Woodbridge Rugby Club:

"We are hosting the screening of the game on Saturday. We've got live music in the afternoon to get the party going.

We're serving Argentinian steak baguettes for those that want to sort of come along and really get into the mood of it.

"Hopefully we'll see an England follow through into the semi finals as well and to the finals. But yeah, we've got screenings of all the England games throughout the World Cup, so it should be some exciting times."
