Benjamin Urdapilleta kicks us off and Elliot Daly is safely underneath it.

The atmosphere is bubbling. An immediate chorus of Swing Low rings around the Tokyo Stadium stands.

Eddie Jones has said George Ford is his man at fly-half and he has to deliver. He has to manage this game to an inch of its life.

Anthem time. Argentina first up. Long instrumental intro to this one, Mario Ledesma in the stands stands ram-rod straight as the brass pumps out. Here come the words. And the volume. That was loud.

And England respond in kind. Massive decibels from the team on the pitch, special tip of the chapeau to Lewis Ludlam and Kyle Sinckler who really ripped it.

A pensive tug of the beard from Joe Marler and we are ready to go...

What stands out for me is the strength of the England bench - only three have less than 20 caps.

When it comes down to those championship minutes at the end of the match, the power England can bring on with those extra eight players might be too much for Argentina.

They're regrowing a team. England have a relatively young team at an average 27 and a bit, Argentina are actually younger than that - they can look at their development over the next four years to the 2023 World Cup.

England stroll into the tunnel with game faces on.

Argentina are a little different. Their replacements and backroom staff line up to give the starting team a guard of honour consisting of bouncing, singing support on their way out of the dressing room.

Joseph Walliker: Write off Argentina at your peril. They, like the French, always turn up at @rugbyworldcup, external as Ireland found out 4 years ago.

The RFU have gambled an enormous amount of cash on Eddie Jones to ensure the England team have every available penny. But as we get to this game, as a former player, it's about the 30 blokes that start.

Both teams just went back into the tunnel at the same time and it was LOUD.

The atmosphere is already better than at the other two England games.

The dominance England should have around the set piece should allow them to blow Argentina away.

They have to do something different because if they come out and play the way they have been playing, England will be bulldoze them over.

• England have won each of their last nine Test matches against Argentina, their last defeat against the Pumas coming in June 2009 in Salta, a game which took place whilst the British & Irish Lions were touring South Africa.
• This will be the third Rugby World Cup clash between England and Argentina, England won the previous two meetings in 1995 (24-18) and 2011 (13-9).

As at all England games so far, the home support seems to be strongly in Eddie Jones' side's favour.

These two didn't speak much English but they've got all the gear so who cares?

Argentina have the best fans in the tournament. The songs, the flags, they are jumping up and down from the first minute to the last. They go all match whatever happens on the pitch. England's fans will have to go some to match them.

Argentina make one change from the XV that started the match against Tonga with number eight Javier Ortega Desio replacing Tomas Lezana.

Fly-half Nicolas Sanchez, who has not missed a Rugby World Cup or Rugby Championship game since October 2016, is not selected in the match-day 23. Instead Castres' Benjamin Urdapilleta starts at 10.

Julian Montoya retains his place at hooker ahead of Agustin Creevy,

Argentina:Boffelli; Moroni, Orlando, De La Fuente, Carreras; Urdapilleta, Cubelli; Chaparro, Montoya, Figallo, Pagadizabal, Lavanini, Matera, Kremer, Desio.

Replacements:Creevy, Vivas, Medrano, Alemanno, Lezana, Ezcurra, Mensa, Delguy.

Speaking to ITV, England head coach Eddie Jones said: "We want to tuck into them early. If you look at the conditions, they are probably the best we have had in the tournament so far. The heat is coming down and there isn't much humidity so I think there will be a bit more ball movement today.

"We always focus on set pieces, it is the hallmark of our game. Every game at the World Cup is about winning but if you just focus on the win you haven't got the right mindset. We know there are plenty of things to do before we can get to that area."

George Ford is at fly-half with captain Owen Farrell at inside centre as England face Argentina looking to claim three World Cup wins in a row.

The team is the same one that opened the tournament against Tonga, other than the inclusion of lock George Kruis in place of Courtney Lawes.

Scrum-half Ben Youngs will become the England men's team's third most capped player when he plays in his 92nd game.

England: Daly; Watson, Tuilagi, Farrell, May; Ford, B Youngs; Marler, George, Sinckler; Itoje, Kruis; Curry, Underhill, B Vunipola.

Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, M Vunipola, Cole, Lawes, Ludlam, Heinz, Slade, Nowell.
