Rugby World Cup 2023: England fixtures and results in full as Steve Borthwick’s side top Pool D

England have made a great start to their Rugby World Cup campaign with wins over Argentina and Japan.

Steve Borthwick’s side lost three of their four warm-up matches for this tournament, including a first-ever defeat by Fiji in their most recent game at Twickenham, and headed into the tournament in France ranked eighth in the world.

The serious business got underway for England last weekend, when they took on Argentina at the Stade Velodrome in a Pool D opener.

George Ford kicked all the points for Borthwick’s men, three quick-fire first-half drop goals and six penalties in a 27-10 victory that came despite Tom Curry’s early red card.

England then beat Japan 34-12 in Nice, before a clash against debutants Chile that they will be expected to win with minimal fuss. The focus will then shift to the final pool match against Samoa.

On paper at least, England are on the right side of the draw. They cannot face the likes of New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa or France until the semi-finals.
