THE Women's Rugby World Cup kicked-off last night when hosts England faced the United States at the Stadium of Light.

The tournament concludes with the final at the Allianz Stadium on September 27.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the key players to watch during this year's competition.

Claudia Pena

The Spain international enjoyed a fantastic debut season in Premiership Women's Rugby with Harlequins this season.

The 20-year-old centre joined Quins from Barcelona at the start of the season and went on to score eight tries in 13 appearances.

Pena will be looking to carry on from that stellar season with Spain, who are ranked 13th in the world and face a tricky group with clashes against New Zealand, Ireland and Japan.
