They managed to avoid Typhoon Hagibis two weeks ago, but England got a taste of Japanese weather when they trained in torrential rain ahead of Saturday's World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.
The weather was so bad that it delayed the squad's arrival at Yokohama Stadium in Tokyo and then provided testing conditions for their session.
Scrum coach Neil Hatley said they might review their travel plans for Saturday, when the forecast is for dry conditions. But he added that everything went smoothly on a sodden pitch.
"We did everything – lineout, restarts, set piece, we’ve got everything done," he said. "A lot of us are used to playing in those conditions."
Meanwhile, Springbok fly-half Handre Pollard warned South Africa against falling into the trap laid by a "suffocating" Wales ahead of Sunday's semi-final in Yokohama. Wales have won all four of their Tests against South Africa since a 23-19 loss at Twickenham in the quarter-finals of the 2015 World Cup.
"They know what they are good at, and focus on that," Pollard said on Friday.
"They starve you of possession and territory, and enforce their kicking game on you. They take away your set-piece. It's not a game-plan or rugby with a lot of flair in it, but it's just suffocating," he said.
