Kick-off

Underway at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy!

Can England’s new-look attack fire against the lowest-ranked team at the tournament?

After two games in their away strips, Borthwick’s side are back in white this afternoon, with Chile in red.

Jaco Peyper is the man in the middle. Farell kicks to get us up and running.

The players are out at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Time for the national anthems, starting with God Save the King.

Plenty of emotion expected from the Chile players on the biggest day in their rugby history.

Final preparations in Lille!

Standard Sport’s Nick Purewal at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy

Lille is packed full of England fans, who have been streaming into the city all day from the Eurostar.

But the casual expectation of an England victory against Chile here has meant that half of the supporters are not even in their seats yet, with mere minutes to kick-off.

England have to win this match with something to spare, which means racking up the points, the tries and the attacking fluency.

Pablo Lemoine: Chile cannot leak penalties in biggest ever game

Chile coach Pablo Lemoine – a try-scorer when his native Uruguay were thrashed 111-13 by eventual champions England at the 2003 World Cup – has stressed the importance of his side keeping their discipline in what he called the biggest game in their history this afternoon.

“We do not have opportunities to play against the tier one. To improve, we must take advantage of these opportunities,” Lemoine said. “You have to play and enjoy it because it is surely the most important game in Chile’s history.

“England have a pragmatic, organised game. A lot of kicking, a lot of strategy, with high-class players looking to counter-attack. I imagine a lot of aggressiveness in the forwards.

“We have been watching them. We saw their games with Argentina and Japan, and ultimately we will have to be intelligent and not commit penalties because it is an important platform for them. I hope we can accomplish that part of the plan.”

Owen Farrell relieved to be back after suspension

Owen Farrell would likely not have expected to be playing in this game originally, until a four-match suspension ruled him out of the opening Pool D wins over Argentina and Japan.

Long-time rival and friend George Ford has posed a serious challenge for the No10 jersey at the tournament so far, though Farrell is just pleased to be on the pitch again after going through a roller coaster of emotions in the stands.

“I don’t detach myself. I’m knackered by the end, to be honest,” Farrell said this week of watching from the sidelines.

“I was especially knackered after the Argentina match. I feel involved, I feel like I’m out there at times. I feel every emotion that goes with it, sometimes even more than I would if I was playing.

“I wouldn’t describe myself as the best in the stands, no.”

On England’s new-look attack today, Farrell added: “There will be lots of options in that attacking shape, hopefully. The boys in this backline are all tremendous talents.

“And with Marcus at full-back, you’ve seen how he’s come on and impacted the game over his last three appearances. He’s come on and had an impact straight away.

“He wants the ball, he wants to make a difference – he wants to get the team on the front foot and I see it being no different on Saturday.

“Everyone knows what a talent Marcus is. Hopefully we can link up, hopefully we can find space together and get each other involved in the game.”
