England held a training session on Thursday (17 September), the day before they meet Fiji in the World Cup opening game.
Script:
Hosts England squeezed in some last minute training at Twickenham on Thursday, as they finalised preparations for their Rugby World Cup opener against Fiji on Friday.
England named an unchanged side from the team which beat Ireland 21-13 in their final warm-up two weeks ago.
Amongst the starting 15 is Leicester Tigers scrum half Ben Youngs, who will win his 50th cap in the Fiji match.
And former Leicester teammate Geoff Parling is preferred to Joe Launchbury in the second row, while Ben Morgan gets the nod at number eight ahead of Billy Vunipola.
England are in Pool A - dubbed 'the pool of death' - they must play Wales, Australia, Fiji and Uruguay and finish in the top two of their group to qualify for the knock-out stage of the competition.
