    It is going to get very loud in here.

    The crowd already in the stands is basically just a mass of blue and white stripes bouncing and singing.

    After two games under a roof, England will be delighted to be outside for the first time at this World Cup - it's baking in Tokyo, and the breeze tickling the tiers of this stadium is hugely welcomed.

    Argentina's fans, as they did in 2007 and 2015, also bang in contention for the Supporters of the Tournament gong. Songs belted out, dances, the express draining of multiple beverages. Plus arguably the most aesthetically pleasing kit of them all.

    It's always feisty isn't it?

    England v Argentina sporting encounters don't need any hyping or military metaphors.

    Unfortunately no-one told the Puma's former Worcester hooker Agustin Creevy.

    "We need to win the scrum, we need to win the lineout, the maul and the breakdown," he said earlier this week.

    "Saturday's going to be like a war. It's a final for us."
