Follow the latest updates live from the Rugby World Cup warm-up clash between England and Ireland at Twickenham as the two Six Nations rivals take another step closer to Japan 2019.

After two experimental games against Wales, England have gone full-strength against the Irish as George Ford, Owen Farrell and Manu Tuilagi line-up in a new-look midfield while Tom Curry and Sam Underhill finally get a run-out together in the back-row, two weeks later than planned. However, England have suffered an injury blow for the third week in succession as replacement Jonathan Joseph has been ruled out with 'muscle soreness', meaning Joe Marchant has been drafted in to take his place on the bench.

Ireland meanwhile have also gone all-out for the clash with a side that is remarkably similar to the one that clinched the 2018 Grand Slam at Twickenham, although with Johnny Sexton and Joey Carbery injured Ross Bryne is trusted at fly-half by Joe Schmidt. Follow the live updates below.

Prediction

England by eight: Eddie Jones has thrown his players into the fire with a shortened training week, but that could have the desired effect in triggering a response to prove they are ready for the World Cup campaign. Given they are a match further into their World Cup preparations, England may just be able to catch Ireland cold.
