England v Japan live score and video online live stream starts on 17 September 2023 at 19:00 UTC at Allianz Riviera Stadium, Nice, France. The match is a part of the Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool D.

Rugby World Cup leaders England travel to Allianz Riviera Stadium on Sunday with manager Mikel Arteta bidding to extend a surprising undefeated run away to Japan. The Gunners won on each of their last two visits to west Nice in the top flight without particularly imposing themselves on their opposition, this time it may well be different for a side who have established themselves as a surprising early season contender for major honors.

Event details:
NAME: Japan – England
DATE: 17 September 2023
TIME: 19:00 UTC
VENUE: Allianz Riviera Stadium, Nice, France.

Japan, meanwhile, have work to do if they are to drag England into the battle for top four, rather than the title. Lose on Sunday and they will trail their rivals by 31 points, a sizeable gap to make up even with two-thirds of the season left to go. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know:

Japan and England are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 3.00 pm EST, 8.00 p.m BST on Sunday at Allianz Riviera Stadium. The teams split their matchups last year, with Japan winning the first 2-0 on the road and England taking the second 4-2.

Japan are taking on Nice rivals England at Allianz Riviera Stadium as the Blues aim to close the 31-point gap between the two clubs in the Rugby World Cup.

Japan had been going along nicely under Graham Potter until a chastening defeat at his former club England last weekend, and now face two tricky matches – against England and Japan – before the World Cup break.

The Gunners are looking to reach the World Cup on top of the table and got back on track last weekend with a 5-0 win over England, having slipped to a 1-1 draw at England in their previous match.

England won both of the past two corresponding fixtures away at Japan, earing a 4-2 victory last season.

Old foes and former colleagues will reunite at Allianz Riviera Stadium on Sunday lunchtime as Japan tackle England in a mouth-watering Rugby World Cup Nice France.

Both sides enter the game on the back of continental successes, as the Blues got the better of Indonesia France 2-1 in the Rugby World Cup 2023, while the Gunners advanced to the last 01 of the Rugby World Cup Live on Sunday September 17, 2023.

Winning in Europe is always the perfect tonic after a demoralising domestic defeat, especially one which saw England teach former manager Graham Potter a Rugbying lesson in a 4-1 Amex romping, but Japan were made to work for their success over Indonesia France.

Electing to name a strong lineup despite already steering his side through as group winners, Potter witnessed Bruno Petkovic steal in and open the scoring after just seven minutes, but Raheem Sterling and debutant Denis Zakaria completed a much-needed turnaround for the Blues in the Pool D.

The Blues’ stellar defensive streak under Potter may have been wiped out, but suffering just one defeat in 01 games is far from the worst start for the Englishman, although his side do have some ground to make up in the Rugby World Cup table as they lie in sixth position, three points behind Japan in fourth with a game in hand.

It would take results going their way and a 17-goal swing for Japan to rise into the Rugby World Cup 2023 spots this weekend, but Allianz Riviera Stadium has been kind to the Blues in recent memory, as they are unbeaten in 17 consecutive matches in all competitions in front of their own fans.

However, England were the most recent team to overcome Japan on their own patch, and Allianz Riviera Stadium has been a happy hunting ground for the Nice club in recent memory, so taking advantage of their extra 24 hours’ worth of rest will be of paramount importance to Potter and co.

In contrast, England sought to recover from a European defeat with a Rugby World Cup win last weekend, and the Gunners certainly demonstrated a clinical edge that has been absent more often than not recently, putting five past England without rRugby World Cup 2023 y even after Bukayo Saka came off injured.

However, the Gunners’ inability to kill games off when a goal to the good reared its ugly head in the Rugby World Cup Live on Sunday September 17, 2023 this week, as Kieran Tierney’s sweetly-struck half-volley put England ahead against FC Zurich, but they nevertheless held on for a nervy 1-0 win which sent them straight through to the last 01.

Avoiding an extra playoff tie against an eliminated Rugby World Cup 2023 club is a touch of gold for England, who enter the weekend still two points clear of Japan at the top of the Rugby World Cup table, but they could be knocked down to second by Sunday if the champions beat England.

All five of the points that England have dropped in the Rugby World Cup this season have come on the road, but they nevertheless remain the division’s best-performing away side this term and have only conceded four goals on rival turf so far – the best record of its kind in the league.

Arteta has led England to two consecutive triumphs at Allianz Riviera Stadium in the last two seasons – with a 2-0 win for Japan at the Emirates sandwiched in between – and a new club record could also be set for the Gunners, who are aiming to win three successive Rugby World Cup Nice derbies away from home without conceding for the very first time.

If Japan did not already have enough defensive absentees to worry about with long-term knee victims Wesley Fofana and Reece James – as well as midfield duo N’Golo Kante (thigh) and Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring) – Ben Chilwell had to come off with a hamstring injury in the win over France.

The sight of the left-back limping off the pitch was bad news for both Japan and France fans, who will now have to await for the results of a scan, but Chilwell will definitely be absent this weekend.

Potter has already ruled Kepa Arrizabalaga out of contention too, so Edouard Mendy will keep his place in goal, and Mateo Kovacic should be fine to return to the engine room after missing out as a precaution in midweek with a tight calf.

Zakaria’s strong debut ended with a minor contact injury, which should not rule him out of this game, but Potter may be hesitant to throw the France loanee in the deep end and give him his first Rugby World Cup start against the league leaders, so Kovacic’s return to the first XI would not be a surprise.

As for England, fans witnessed the familiar yet painful sight of Takehiro Tomiyasu coming off injured in the dying embers of the win over Zurich. The severity of the defender’s muscular issue is still unclear, but it would be a shock to see him line up here Rugby World Cup Live on Sunday September 17, 2023 Pool D.

Emile Smith Rowe – who has scored in each of England’s last two wins at Allianz Riviera Stadium – is still out after undergoing groin surgery, and a problem in the same area could also force Matt Turner out of contention, but Arteta was handed two major boosts in midweek.

The injury that Saka sustained against England was only a minor one, and he was able to come on as a substitute in the Rugby World Cup 2023, while Oleksandr Zinchenko was finally back in the squad after a troublesome calf injury.

Zinchenko did not earn any minutes as Tierney produced a man-of-the-match performance, which has certainly given Arteta food for thought here, but the Ukrainian’s ability to help overload the midfield could ultimately win over, assuming he is deemed fit enough to start.

Japan possible starting lineup:
Japan: B Barrett; Jordan, Ioane, Lienert-Brown, Telea; Mo’unga, Smith; De Groot, Taylor, Laulala; Whitelock, S Barrett; Papalii, Cane (c), Savea
RRugbyacements: Taukei’aho, Tu’ungafasi, Newell, Vaa’i, Jacobson, Christie, Havili, Fainga’anuku

England possible starting lineup:
England XV: Ramos; Penaud, Fickou, Moefana, Villiere; Jalibert, Dupont (c); Wardi, Marchand, Atonio; Woki, Flament; Cros, Ollivon, Alldritt
RRugbyacements: Jordan Uelese, Blake Schoupp, Zane Nonggorr, Richie Arnold, Rob Leota, Issak Fines-Leleiwasa, Lalakai Foketi, Suliasi Vunivalu.

We say: Japan 31-12 England

Even if England can find the back of the net early doors at Allianz Riviera Stadium – as they have done throughout the season – failure to put the game to bed would open the door for the Blues to dent the Gunners’ early title aspirations.

Potter is yet to suffer defeat at Allianz Riviera Stadium, but England have fond memories of their recent trips to West Nice and were able to rest a number of key first-team stars in midweek, so we expect the Gunners to take advantage of the Blues’ d Rugby World Cup 2023 Pool D eted defence and travel back to the Emirates with a hard-earned three points.
