Rugby World Cup: England and Australia set for defining clash

NULL

It’s make or break for England in the Rugby World Cup tonight. Stuart Lancaster’s men face Australia at Twickenham (11pm kick-off, UAE time), knowing that defeat will eliminate them from the tournament they’re hosting. England have Jonathan Joseph back at outside centre, after he missed the defeat to Wales with a chest injury. Meanwhile, after resting 14 players in their last outing, a 65-3 win over Uruguay, Australia revert to the same side that beat Fiji 28-13 in their World Cup opener. Elsewhere, Scotland face South Africa (7:45pm) and Japan take on Samoa (5:30pm).
