England will meet Wales in Bristol for a competitive scrum session ahead of the autumn internationals as Eddie Jones looks to improve his side's set piece.

Jones warned his players Thursday to expect "chaos in the house" on the road to the 2019 Rugby World Cup and he believes the set piece is an area they can improve as they attempt to depose champions New Zealand.

International referee Nigel Owens has been lined up to officiate the session a week on Monday that will see the two groups of players engage in a series of scrum and lineout drills.

The get-together, which is expected to be full-bloodied, was the brainchild of Jones and his forwards coach, Steve Borthwick, who worked with Wales boss Warren Gatland on the summer's British & Irish Lions tour.
