Rugby fans across Buck's Beds and Herts are getting ready for another England game at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.

England sit top of Group D following wins against Argentina and Japan - but Steve Borthwick's side have faced criticism for their performances under their new manager.

Chile are the lowest ranked side in Group D - And Borthwick has used the opportunity to rotate his side.

England Captain Owen Farrell returns form suspension to start at Fly-half.

Darren Clarke is a Rugby coach in the East:

"They Chile are the lowest ranking team in competition and I would really like us to put down a marker against them, like France and Ireland have done. We've picked a much changed side with a lot of talent in the backs

"The style of rugby we're playing is not the most exciting. There were signs in the last 20 minutes of the Japan game that we were trying to be a bit more expansive. I know they have a game plan and you can't really knock them when they've won both their games. Whether the style they're playing will be enough against the best- I'm not so sure".
