Rugby World Cup fixtures and results LIVE: Samoa beat Russia, England make 10 changes for USA clash

Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Rugby World Cup in Japan.

Samoa opened their campaign on Tuesday with a six-try 34-9 Pool A win over Russia.

Centre Rey Lee-Lo and hooker Motu Matu'u could both have been sent off before the interval in Kumagaya, only to controversially escape with yellow cards.

England also named their team for Thursday's second Pool C clash with the United States in Kobe this morning, with Eddie Jones opting to make 10 changes amid a short turnaround.

Stay tuned to Standard Sport for all the reaction and results, plus updates ahead of England vs the USA…
