- Traffic causes Eddie Jones’s team to be late
- Travel plans for New Zealand semi-final to be reviewed
England have been forced to review their travel plans for Saturday’s World Cup semi-final against New Zealand after their final training session at Yokohama Stadium was delayed due to traffic congestion.
Eddie Jones has based his squad to the east of Tokyo at the Disneyland resort, 30 miles away from the stadium with an average journey time of more than an hour. England were due to start their final training session before facing the All Blacks at 10am local time but, amid torrential rain, they did not run out on to the pitch until around 10:45am.
