Steve Borthwick’s squad has notched up two consecutive victories in the tournament, securing a 34-12 win against Japan, despite a somewhat lackluster performance.
Despite these early triumphs, lingering doubts persist regarding England’s potential to contend for the ultimate world title. Nonetheless, the return of captain Owen Farrell, who has now served his four-game ban, injects further strength into their lineup.
Farrell’s return adds an extra layer of complexity to Chile’s uphill battle as they strive to secure their first points, having suffered heavy defeats in their initial two encounters.
The showdown is scheduled to kick off at 4:45 pm UK time at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, with live coverage available on ITV1 and ITVX, free for all viewers.
Following England’s victory over Japan, head coach Borthwick hinted at potential lineup adjustments, recognizing this as their seemingly most straightforward group stage fixture on paper.
EXPECTED ENGLAND XV:
BACK-THREE:
15. Marcus Smith
14. Henry Arundell
11. Max Malins
CENTRES:
13. Joe Marchant
