Read our privacy policy Lock Ollie Chessum has warned that England cannot afford to “sleepwalk” into their next Rugby World Cup pool fixture against Chile. World Cup debutants Chile are, on paper, the weakest of the five nations in the pool, but the South Americans have caused problems for Japan and Samoa in their opening two matches in France. England are expected to ring the changes for the fixture, but Chessum has cautioned that Steve Borthwick’s side risk being “exposed” if they do not get their preparation and attitude for the game right. Chessum fought back from a serious ankle injury suffered during the Six Nations to make England’s squad for this tournament, with the 23-year-old returning to action in their warm-up defeat to Ireland.
