Pool D will start on September 9th in Marseille with England vs Argentina in what could well be a group decider. The winner stands a good chance of topping Pool D; however, it might not be an easy ride for Steve Borthwick&#8217;s men, and they face their toughest challenge first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Browse all the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/rugby-union\/\">rugby odds<\/a>, markets, news, and more with <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/\">NetBet<\/a>.

To be honest, optimism is low. England is a low-ebb and with Borthwick\u2019s tactical approach under some serious scrutiny, it could be a short campaign. However, England do turn up to the big occasions. They seem to thrive in the World Cup environment (football; take note). Could they summon one more big tournament push with a mish-mash team?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The warm-ups have not been good for England. Defeats to Ireland (expected), Wales (disappointing) and a first ever home defeat to Fiji (shocking) &#8211; it&#8217;s going to take a real turnaround for this England side to go all the way with some seriously good sides going into this one. Being brutal, they haven&#8217;t looked good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Argentina have earned themselves dark horse status, and for many people, they could cause some serious upsets. Fresh of beating the Australians and a really narrow defeat to favourites, and defending champions, South Africa, they will be really confident that they could top the group and set a real precedent. Argentina are two places higher in the current world rankings and won the last meeting between the two sides.\u00a0 England really needs to beware of the Pumas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For England, they are rightly worried about the prospect of crashing out before it&#8217;s even started. The 2003 champions will have their work cut out if they do lose the opener. Samoa have the best side they&#8217;ve had in generations and Japan seem to also enjoy an upset. It looks like it&#8217;s going to be a long tournament. However, the 2019 runners-up won\u2019t go easily. It&#8217;s going to be an interesting ride!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>England vs Argentina Betting Odds<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s going to be hard to split these two, and that&#8217;s certainly reflected in the odds on this one. Both sides are 1.90 to take the fixture with the draw at 21.00. It&#8217;s a really difficult one to call, but whoever wins will surely be favourites to top the group and go into the next round feeling confident they can do more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">England are 1.94 to open up the scoring in this crucial World Cup fixture but also will be worried about keeping the Argentinian side out. They&#8217;re at 1.88 to score over 22.5 points in this one, and with England&#8217;s defence looking as shaky as ever, they&#8217;ll want to ensure they don&#8217;t shift too many points in the first game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rugby World Cup Betting Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under 22.5 points @ 1.84<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s likely to be a cagey affair. The opening fixtures of a major tournament always are. Both teams will not want to concede anything silly and cautious defence could well be the aim of the game here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Argentina&#8217;s total points under 19.5 @ 2.30\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If England are going to take this opener, it&#8217;ll come down to their defence. They will be hoping their string tackling ability can keep the Argentinians at bay. They will want to make sure a few big hits go in early to set the tone in this one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
