England head coach Stuart Lancaster has named an unchanged team for their rugby union World Cup opener against Fiji.

He's gone with the same starting fifteen that began their final warm-up victory over Ireland for Friday night's game at Twickenham.

It means Geoff Parling and Courtney Lawes start in the forwards, ahead of Joe Launchbury.
