Who will win the England vs Argentina match?
It'll be hard to look past England, who have been in great form recently. The draw has been kind so far, but we can't forget that the Red Roses have a tendency to stumble when things are going well, especially at the RWC. Will the failures of the 2015 campaign start playing on the minds of England?

Argentina on the other hand have been something of a mixed bag. After suffering a loss to France in the opening match, the challenge to escape the pool of death became far more difficult. During that match Argentina were blown out early, then clawed back just to lose in the final moment.
Interestingly the Pumas haven't missed the knockout stage since 2003 and finished 4th at the last tournament.
When does the England vs Argentina RWC match start?
England vs Argentina is scheduled for Saturday 5 October at 6pm AEST at Tokyo Stadium. There are several other matches this weekend too.
