Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Rugby World Cup as we look ahead to the semi-finals in Japan.
Eddie Jones made headlines on Tuesday morning after claiming that England's latest training session in Chiba was spied on from a nearby building.
“There was definitely someone in the apartment block filming but it might have been a Japanese fan. I don’t care mate,” he said at a press conference.
Jones is sounding positive on the fitness of hamstrung wings Jonny May and Jack Nowell ahead of the last-four showdown with New Zealand on Saturday, but remains coy on the status of Willi Heinz.
Meanwhile, Wales continue to prepare for their clash with South Africa on Sunday, with assistant coach Robin McBryde set to remain with the squad after a family bereavement.
Stay tuned to Standard Sport for all the action, results and latest news from Japan...
