England head coach Stuart Lancaster will reportedly name his team to face France later today as their Rugby World Cup preparations gather momentum.
The World Cup hosts will play back-to-back matches against France and then a game with Ireland as they gear up for the beginning of the tournament on September 18.
Lancaster was scheduled to reveal his team on Thursday, but Sky Sports News claims that he will name his side today.
Lancaster must name his final 31-man squad on August 31.
