England has named a strong side to take on Argentina tomorrow morning in their 2023 Rugby World Cup opener with the inclusion of returning flanker Tom Curry.

Curry who returned from injury and is fit to play is sure to provide a boost to the English forwards pack.

In an interesting selection, coach Steve Borthwick has opted to start Alex Mitchell who was a fourth-choice halfback and was initially left out of the RWC squad for this crucial match against the Pumas.

Borthwick says after an excellent week of preparation, the players are now looking forward to starting their Rugby World Cup campaign on a high note.

He says they know that this game against Argentina will provide a stern test considering the Pumas' impressive performance in the last 12 months.

England will take on Argentina at 7am tomorrow in Marseille.
