England got a weekend off this week after their match with France was called off and both teams were given a 0-0 draw.
Meanwhile, Australia put Georgia to the sword on Friday to book their spot in this quarter-final match-up between two old rivals.
Jack Nowell and Billy Vunipola did not train fully and are doubts for England’s first World Cup knockout match for eight years.
Australia boss Michael Cheika has already started the war of words with his old mate Eddie Jones. “I saw he was saying that the typhoon gods were smiling on them so I suppose they better win,” he chirped.
“They’ve had the best preparation according to the coach so they better go out there and win.”
