  England name top team for Georgia
Updated 07 October 2003, 10.16
England are training hard for the World Cup
England will play all their best players in their first game of the Rugby World Cup against Georgia.

Coach Clive Woodward has chosen a really strong team even though Georgia are expected to be easily beaten.

Some experts even think England could score as many as 100 points in their first game of the tournament.

Second row forward Martin Johnson will captain England in the Pool C match which kicks off on Sunday.

South Africa is big test

Most games in the group stages of the tournament should be quite easy wins for England.

Only South Africa - on 17 October - will be a serious test of the team's abilities, with Samoa and minnows Uruguay England's other opponents.
