Despite being one of the outsiders for the title this time around, England will be hoping to defy the odds and lift the 2023 Rugby World Cup title in France this autumn.
For the home nation, it's been an interesting run of form of late. In truth, preparation for the 2023 edition of the competition hasn't quite gone to plan for head coach Steve Borthwick, but having picked 16 of 2019's runners-up in his squad, England have the depth and experience necessary to make a real impression at this tournament.
They kicked off their group stage campaign by beating Argentina and will end with a clash against Samoa in early October.
The Sporting News is on hand to bring you the latest results from England's 2023 Rugby World Cup campaign.
