Lock George Martin has been handed a surprise starting opportunity in England’s team for the Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa 22bet
22-year-old Martin partners Maro Itoje in the second row, with Ollie Chessum dropped to the bench and Steve Borthwick making two other changes 22bet
Freddie Steward replaces Marcus Smith at full-back, with the Harlequins playmaker ruled out due to head injury return to play protocols 22bet
Smith was cleared to return to the field after passing an in-game head injury assessment against Fiji, but has failed a subsequent part of the process, ruling him out of this weekend’s fixture 22bet
The final change comes in the front row, where Joe Marler’s scrummaging expertise is preferred to Ellis Genge’s dynamism on the loosehead 22bet
RecommendedEngland must be ready for whatever ‘very, very smart’ Springboks throw at them, says Kevin SinfieldThe two sides of Rassie Erasmus, the puppet master pulling South Africa’s strings at Rugby World CupSouth Africa name World Cup semi-final team against England“After an excellent few days preparation in Paris, we look forward to the challenge of playing the World Champions and number one ranked team in the world,” said Borthwick 22bet
“Through this tournament the team has progressed, with the players repeatedly finding a way to win, sometimes in challenging circumstances 22bet
We will once again need to be at our very best this weekend as we face an excellent team in South Africa 22bet
“There is no doubt the players will truly relish the challenge of knockout rugby under the lights in Paris 22bet
These players will, as they have done in every game of this tournament, give absolutely everything in the semi-final to get the result we want 22bet
”The squad includes 13 survivors from the World Cup final defeat to the Springboks in 2019 22bet
Martin’s elevation comes as a surprise after a strong tournament from the Itoje/Chessum lock partnership, but perhaps reflects a desire from Borthwick to match South Africa’s bench impact with a strogn set of tight five replacements 22bet
The young Leicester lock will also have a key role to play at scrum-time, anchoring behind a front row bolstered at the set-piece by the wily Marler 22bet
The 33-year-old starts opposite fellow veteran Dan Cole, who endured a difficult day in Yokohama four years ago having been required early on after an injury to Kyle Sinckler 22bet
Owen Farrell will again captain England from fly half as he wins a 111th cap 22bet

Gareth Southgate has eight months to mull over his European Championship selection after England sealed their place at next summer’s finals with two games to spare 22bet
Tuesday’s 3-1 win against Italy underlined their place among the favourites in Germany and the PA news agency has analysed how Southgate likely sees his options for the squad right now 22bet
GoalkeepersOn the plane: Jordan Pickford (Everton) and Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)In the departure lounge: Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace)Hoping for a late ticket: Nick Pope (Newcastle)Pickford established himself as England’s number one ahead of the 2018 World Cup and is all but certain to go into his fourth major tournament as the man 22bet between the sticks 22bet
Ramsdale is his closest contender but David Raya’s arrival at Arsenal is impacting his playing time and could well damage his international ambitions 22bet
Johnstone has supplanted Pope as third choice for the time being 22bet
DefendersOn the plane: Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle) and Kyle Walker (Manchester City)In the departure lounge: Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Reece James (Chelsea) and Fikayo Tomori (AC Milan)Hoping for a late ticket: Conor Coady (Leicester), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) and Ben White (Arsenal)Trippier, Stones, Walker and Maguire have been to every previous major tournament under Southgate and will do so again if fit and playing – not something that is a given with the latter 22bet
James undoubtedly has the quality to be on the plane but needs to prove his fitness 22bet
The Chelsea skipper missed the World Cup through injury and has struggled for an issue-free run since – not ideal given the competition at right-back 22bet
Injured team-mate Chilwell is in a similar position but there is a dearth of options at left-back beyond him and Shaw 22bet
Colwill can fill in there as he did on his England debut against Australia, which will boost the central defender’s hopes 22bet
Guehi has established himself as third-choice centre-back 22bet
Dunk and Tomori furthered their case for inclusion in recent camps in the absence of injured Mings, whose Aston Villa team-mate Konsa cannot be far from a call-up 22bet
Coady and White have not been selected since Qatar, while fellow World Cup squad selection Dier’s lack of club action has seen him fall out of consideration 22bet
MidfieldersOn the plane: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jordan Henderson (Al-Ettifaq), Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City) and Declan Rice (Arsenal)In the departure lounge: Conor Gallagher (Chelsea) and Mason Mount (Manchester United)Hoping for a late ticket: Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) and James Ward-Prowse (West Ham)Bellingham would be in any squad in the world, as would Rice 22bet
There are questions over Phillips and Henderson given their club situations, but Southgate has so far seen enough to stick with two players he trusts implicitly 22bet
The 22bet Football Association now lists Alexander-Arnold as a midfielder, with his versatility and qualities surely enough to see him involved in a midfield that Gallagher is now a regular part of 22bet
Mount’s difficult end to last season and injury-impacted start to life at Old Trafford has seen him miss out on recent squads, but Southgate is a long-term admirer of the Euro 2020 final starter 22bet
In-form Ward-Prowse has not been called up despite his fine start to life at West Ham 22bet
ForwardsOn the plane: Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) and Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)In the departure lounge: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), James Maddison (Tottenham), Raheem Sterling (Chelsea), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) and Callum Wilson (Newcastle)Hoping for a late ticket: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal) and Ivan Toney (Brentford)England are blessed with an abundance of attacking options 22bet
Skipper Kane is a certainty, as is fleet-footed Saka 22bet
Foden, Grealish and Rashford are established performers under Southgate, while Maddison is now a regular squad member 22bet
There are decisions to make beyond them 22bet
Sterling has won 82 caps for his country but has not featured since December’s World Cup quarter-final loss to France 22bet
Bowen is another fighting for a sport after his October recall, while Eze will hope to earning back the spot he got before injury 22bet
Under-21 Euros winner Gibbs-White is another knocking on the door 22bet
As for Kane’s back-up, Watkins scored on his return to the set-up and Nketiah made his debut this month 22bet
But Wilson will be hoping to head into another tournament in that role 22bet
Toney is the most interesting alternative but his 22bet betting ban does not end until January 22bet
