England have crushed Argentina, Japan and Chile to claim a quarter-final place as Pool D winners.
Courtney Lawes insists England have forged an identity based on self-sacrifice as the personalities of the World Cup heavyweights begin to emerge.

It was a very stop-start game, very physical, very combative. “Our way is the England way. Doing it our way is doing it for each other,” the Northampton back row said.
“We’re a really strong defensive team. That’s our backbone. We’ve conceded one try in three games. We’re an aerial, kicking team and are very good at getting the ball back.
