The record attendance for a women's Rugby World Cup match is set to be broken when the tournament begins in New Zealand next Saturday.

More than 30,000 tickets have been sold for the opening match day at Eden Park, which has a capacity of 50,000.

There will be three fixtures in one day at the venue and attendance is expected to surpass the record of 20,000 set at the 2014 Rugby World Cup in France.

England play Fiji on the opening day, with hosts New Zealand also in action.
