​England are looking to put the frustrations of last weekend’s defeat to New Zealand behind them this Saturday, when they take on Japan at 3pm.

Eddie Jones’ side put in a spirited performance against the number one ranked side in the world, but lost 15-16 after being denied a late try due to a tight offside call from the TMO.

Now, England will be looking to return to winning ways against Japan at Twickenham.

There's more than just a result on the line for Jones too — the Australian coached Japan from 2012 to 2015, and his former captain Michael Leitch made a tongue-in-cheek comment earlier this week, saying: “We’ve been bullied a lot by Eddie, we’d like to give it back by beating England as a sign of gratitude.”

England are still without the injured Mako and Billy Vunipola, but they will fancy their chances against Japan, who are currently ranked 11th in the world.

These are the best London pubs and bars to catch the action if you can’t make it to Twickenham this weekend.
