The draw for the 2019 Rugby World Cup will be done in host country Japan and will be broadcast live at 8pm Fiji time tonight on the World Rugby website www.rugbyworldcup.com.
Twenty nations will take part in the tournament and will be drawn into four groups of five.
The 12 teams, including holders New Zealand, who finished in the top three of their groups at the last World Cup automatically qualified for the event.
They have been split into three bands based on their ranking, with eight more teams yet to be decided.
The All Blacks, England, Australia and Ireland are in band one, France, Scotland, South Africa and Wales make up band two and Argentina, Georgia, Italy and Japan are in band three.
The teams yet to qualify are in the two remaining pots.
One team from each band will be drawn into each World Cup group and England will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their group from the 2015 tournament when they were drawn with Australia and Wales, as well as Fiji and Uruguay.
The World Cup in Japan runs from 20 September to 2 November 2019.
