Speaking ahead of the test, head coach Philip Doyle said: "Tuesday's win against New Zealand was fantastic and really showed what this team can do.

"However, it was one game and we still have a lot of rugby to play.

"This World Cup is, and always has been, about our 26-player squad, and we are in a great position that we can use fresh players to maintain our standards and performances to date.

Kazakhstan are a hugely physical side and we are not underestimating them, they will not be overcome easily.
