On a dull evening weatherwise, the 5pm kick off time just allowed time to get some photos of what is a very impressive venue before darkness fell.
A reminder that this is first and foremost a rugby venue, with the name picked out on the roof of the stand over the covered terrace.
From close up the terracing is perhaps more substantial than it appears from the other side.
A view of the main stand, under which are some impressive social facilities.
This is the second round of games in the group, with Turkey looking to bounce back after two stoppage time goals saw them held 3-3 by hosts Wales in their opener, whilst Kazakhstan are very much cast as the minnows in this company, and had lost their first game 4-0 to Iceland.
Kazakhstan clearly have not read the script, enjoying the better of the early stages, and they fully deserve their 38th minute lead, Baurzhan Baytana given a surprising amount of time in the penalty area to control Abzal Beysebekov's pull back and find the target. Turkey respond with a spectacular effort from Orhan Gülle bringing a fine save from Aleksandr Kalendar, and perhaps crucially Engin Bekdemir levels the scores just before the interval, drilling home a half cleared corner at the near post.
Turkey look a different team after their half time team talk, and show the quality expected of them with three goals in the opening 13 minutes of the second half. Ömer Ali Şahiner sets them on their way with an effort from wide on the right hand side, Orhan Gülle achieves the difficult feat of driving a shot through the massed ranks on the goal line after the keeper had been penalised for handling a back pass, whilst skipper Muhammet Demir provides a fine header to turn in Engin Bekdemir's free kick off the post.
Kazakhstan are denied from pulling a goal back when Abzal Beysebekov's half volley clips the top of the bar, but Turkey round off an impressive 5-1 win on 82 minutes, Engin Bekdemir curling home a free kick from five yards outside the penalty area.
