5th October 2023

ENGLAND face Samoa in their final Rugby World Cup pool D fixture – and they'll be hoping to secure a 100% win record.

The Red Rose booked their quarter-final spot courtesy of Japan's 28-22 win against the Samoans last Thursday.

And Steve Borthwick's men are guaranteed to finish top of the group due to their convincing victories over Argentina and Japan.

However, the England gaffer will be determined for his side to keep up their good momentum for the knockout stages.

Red Rose's last-eight clash is likely to be against Fiji who they lost to at Twickenham just before the World Cup.

Fiji also sent shockwaves around the tournament by beating serial winners Australia in the second round of pool matches.
