Ticket sales have been a struggle, owing partly to train strikes planned for that day, and also to England's uninspiring rugby so far in the build-up to the World Cup. The stadium is likely to be about a third empty, which will be quite a contrast with the previous evening, where tickets to South Africa v New Zealand at Twickenham have been in high demand.

England take on a fitter, more ambitious Fiji in their final game before the World Cup starts next month
The build-up to the Rugby World Cup is well under way, and this clash provides England with a final dress rehearsal ahead of their first game of the tournament, which is against Argentina on September 9.
Last time these two sides met, in 2016, England ran riot at Twickenham, scoring nine times – including a first international try for Elliot Daly – in an emphatic 58-15 victory.
But it has been some time since England fans have witnessed such a scoreline, with Steve Borthwick’s men arriving at Twickenham on the back of a chastening loss against Ireland in Dublin. By contrast, Fiji believe they are fitter and more ambitious than ever.
England face Fiji today at 3.15pm (BST). That’s 2.15am on Sunday morning in Fiji.
