>>England boss: We must grow the game... this is our chance to reach next generation

STEVE BORTHWICK has urged his England side to connect with the kids online after seeing his side's clash with Japan this Saturday blanked by regular TV firms.

Borthwick is set for a Tokyo head-to-head with coaching mentor and former England boss Eddie Jones, who is now in charge of the Brave Blossoms.

It should be a box-office hitwith Jones wanting to get one over on the country that axed him in 2022 and Borthwick aiming to build on third place in the last World Cup.

But, amazingly, the game will only be shown on a website and app owned by World Rugbyand that has left fans scrambling to work out how to watch.

Sky Sports ARE covering the Tests in New Zealand, on July 6 and 13, but they will be commentating from back home off the box.
