England face Chile in their third Pool A match at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
That match will take place in Lille and will be the first match of the tournament in which Owen Farrell is eligible to play, following the end of his four-game suspension for a high tackle of Wales’s Taine Basham.
England enjoyed a triumphant success over Argentina in their World Cup opener and face Japan in Nice on Sunday before meeting Chile. Their final match will be against Samoa, also in Lille, on October 7.
When is it?
England vs Chile takes place on Saturday, Sept 23 with the match kicking off at 4.45pm BST, 5.45pm local time.
Where is it?
Stade Pierre-Mauroy is the home of French Ligue 1 football team Lille OSC. The stadium was renamed in 2013, following the death of the former Mayor of Lille and former Prime Minister of France Pierre Mauroy.
With a capacity of just over 50,000, Stade Pierre-Mauroy is the one of the largest stadiums in France. Built in 2012, the stadium features a retractable roof and has solar panels and two turbines, which provide an electricity supply.
The stadium will host five pool-stage matches including two of England’s and will also be the venue for the handball and basketball tournaments in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
