Welcome to England vs Fiji

England face Fiji in the Stade Velodrome in the 2023 Rugby World Cup quarter-final this afternoon as they bid to book their place in the semi-finals.

Steve Borthwick opted to pick Owen Farrell in the number 10 jersey, dropping George Ford to the bench for this huge encounter.

Marcus Smith returns to the side at the expense of Freddie Steward, playing alongside Elliot Daly, while Jonny May move to the opposite flank.

Ollie Chessum and Maro Itoje keep their places at lock, while Courtney Lawes and Tomy Curry will play the blind and openside and Ben Earl operates in the number eight position.

Fiji are missing Selestino Ravutuamada who has been left out for the match as Semi Radradra replaces him on the wing.

This will mean Vinaya Habosi moving to the opposite wing while Ilaisa Droasese will line up at full back.

The remainder of the backline is unaltered with Josua Tuisova and captain Waisea Nayacalevu forming the centre combination, while Frank Lomani and Vilimoni Botitu will be the half-back pairing.
