LONDON : Always a man who works to the finest detail, England coach Eddie Jones has lined up his four November opponents to mirror what the team will face - or hope to face - if things go to plan in next year's Rugby World Cup.

Then would come a possible rerun of the 2019 semi against New Zealand, which, if they were to repeat their dream display in Japan, would put them on course for a potential final against South Africa, when they would obviously seek a different outcome. Despite Argentina's stunning victory over New Zealand in August, they were unable to sustain any consistency in the Rugby Championship and arrive at Twickenham on the back of 10 successive defeats against England.

Farrell has been in superb form for Saracens this season - but in his preferred position of flyhalf - so the next four weeks should finally convince the coach whether the"two distributors" concept is the way forward.
