REUTERS: England prop Mako Vunipola said he is praying for those affected by Typhoon Hagibis: including members of his own family: as England continue their World Cup preparations in Miyazaki, around 870 km to the south-west of Tokyo.

To avoid it the squad decamped for a"beef and beer" break at the holiday resort where they had their pre-tournament training camp and well away from the Typhoon's path. From there they will have a three-hour coach trio to Oita on Monday, where they will continue the build up to their quarter-final in a week's time - likely to be against Australia.

Vunipola's father Fe'ao, a former captain of Tonga, was in Tokyo for the France game, along with other members of his extended family. Vunipola is in the running for his first start of the tournament as he battles back to fitness from a serious hamstring injury sustained in May.
