| England take on Samoa at Shaw’s Bridge in Belfast tomorrow, and Catt and Moss, who are both props in the Bath Rugby Academy, will be looking to help their campaign get off to a good start.
England’s other matches in the group stages are against Argentina and New Zealand, and if they pick up two wins and two bonus points, England should qualify for the semi-finals.
At last year’s tournament in Dubai, England finished third.
