England will review their travel plans for Saturday's World Cup semi-final against New Zealand after arriving late for today's captain's run.
Eddie Jones' squad were delayed by 10 minutes in their 30-mile journey from the team hotel in Tokyo Bay to International Stadium Yokohama due to heavy rain that caused traffic problems.
Their seismic knockout clash against the All Blacks kicks off at 5pm local time and assistant coach Neal Hatley revealed that although the rain is expected to clear tomorrow, the travel logistics will be re-examined.
"If they don't know, then they will tomorrow, it's just one of those things mate! We will just get on with it," Lawes said.
"We're excited. None of us have played in a semi-final before, it's a challenge but we're very excited to get out there.
"They have gone with a pretty big pack. That's fine with us. We are used to that. In terms of the line-out (Scott Barrett) is a good jumper.
"He's normally a second row forward. But I think we have addressed that and have the callers and jumpers to deal with it.
"They have a great pack and have a lot of great players across the board – but so do we. We have two of the best packs in the world going up against each other."
