Having released the pressure on themselves with back-to-back wins over Argentina and Japan, England will look to make it three from three in Pool D of the Rugby World Cup against Chile at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille on Saturday (4.45pm UK time).<\/p>\n
Coming into the tournament with just three victories from nine tests since Steve Borthwick replaced Eddie Jones as head coach at the end of last year, there was uncertainty from bookmakers as to how the English were going to fare in the 10th edition of the RWC.<\/p>\n
England are at the summit of the pool table, a full nine points clear of their upcoming opponents. First-time finalists at the World Cup, Chile were on the receiving end of a 42-12 reversal to Japan in their tournament debut at Stadium de Toulouse on 10 September.<\/p>\n
Six days later in Bordeaux, Samoa emerged triumphant over the Chileans with a similar final scoreline of 43-10.<\/p>\n
It was always going to be a big ask of Pablo Lemoine\u2019s side to come out on top in these games, especially as they had never previously faced Japan or Samoa in an international test.<\/p>\n
This is also the case with England as well as Argentina, who they face in their final pool game in Nantes on 30 September.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the latest Rugby World Cup odds, England have moved in from 16\/1 to 12\/1 outsiders following their positive start.<\/p>\n
