England and Tonga get their World Cup campaigns underway as they clash in Pool C. England are one time winners of the event, lifting the trophy back in 2003. Tonga have been known to cause the odd upset at world cups, beating eventual runners up France in the pool stage back in 2011. However, England will start the match as firm favourites and will look to lay down an early marker as a side to be reckoned with in this event. France, Argentina and the USA make up the rest of the pool, with France edging Argentina 23-21 in a thriller.
