ENGLAND return to Rugby World Cup action hoping to extend their unbeaten run in France – but Pablo Lemoine’s Chile stands in the way.

However, the Red Rose have been slammed for their playing style at this tournament which includes scoring the ‘worst try in history’ against the Japanese.
But England have a great opportunity to put on a good display as they come up against Chile who sit rock bottom of Pool D.
Furthermore, the Chileans are the worst-ranked team in the competition so fans will be expecting a high-scoring game.
