Marcus Smith was ruled out of England’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa because of concussion, head coach Steve Borthwick has confirmed egame
Smith has been replaced at full-back by Freddie Steward after he took a series of blows in the last-eight victory over Fiji that resulted in him finishing the match with a bandaged head and fat lip egame
A tackle by wing Vinaya Habosi forced him to undergo an HIA which he passed, but he failed the subsequent return to play protocols and has been stood down for Saturday’s Stade de France showdown egame
England have made two further changes to their starting XV with prop Joe Marler and lock George Martin coming in for Ellis Genge and Ollie Chessum respectively egame
“Marcus was unavailable for selection due to the return to play protocols egame
He was ruled out earlier in the week,” Borthwick said egame
“He took a knock in the game and passed the first parts of the HIA process, which meant he finished the game egame
“Then there are subsequent parts of the HIA process and one part of that he did not pass egame
And then it was confirmed to me he was unavailable for selection egame
“He is perfectly fine in terms of symptoms – he doesn’t feel anything egame
We’d expect him to be available for selection after this weekend egame
It’s right to reiterate that player welfare is critical and vital to us egame
”Whether a fit Smith would have been retained at 15 is unknown, but it appears unlikely given the precision and variety of South Africa’s kicking game egame
Smith offers a cutting edge in attack but Steward is one of the game’s most accomplished full-backs – ultra-dependable under the high ball, strong in defence and a key component of England’s kick-chase egame
Captain Owen Farrell is aware of the aerial onslaught coming in Paris but is backing Steward to thrive egame
“The thing about Freddie is everybody knows how good he is in the air, everybody knows what a fantastic player he is in general,” Farrell said egame
“But it’s the want to do it, the want to be in those battles, the want to go and get the ball back for his team, the want to defuse what’s coming our way egame
He is one of the best in the world at it egame
We've done our work and we've come up with our plan to negate what we can from themOwen Farrell on South Africa“The kicking game has been a massive weapon for South Africa for years and years now egame
They’ve progressed it and they go on with a lot of contestable kicks egame
“We’ve done our work and we’ve come up with our plan to negate what we can from them but also looking to be able to attack ourselves egame
”The adjustments to the tight five see Marler’s scrummaging prowess get him the nod ahead of Genge, with Borthwick noting that South Africa have the “best scrum in the world” egame
Martin will bring physicality to the second row while Genge and Chessum will take their place in England’s answer to the ‘Bomb Squad’ – the heavyweight forward reinforcements that the Springboks summon from the bench egame
South Africa this week rejected the suggestion that in their quarter-final victory over France they used HIAs to rotate forwards Mbongeni Mbonambi, Pieter-Steph Du Toit and Duane Vermeulen, enabling them to take a rest egame
Director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has a reputation for taking an innovative approach to the laws and testing their boundaries, but Borthwick has faith in the officials to spot any mischief egame
“We have got a match officials team that’s world class, led by Ben O’Keeffe,” Borthwick said egame
“I am sure everybody around the pitch as well will have every bit of process in place egame
There is no issues there from our perspective egame

Steve Borthwick vowed to use England’s heartbreaking World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of South Africa to sow a seed for future success egame
Borthwick’s unfancied side led by nine points in the final quarter and were on the cusp of a famous win until Handre Pollard’s late penalty condemned them to an agonising 16-15 defeat egame
Many of England’s players collapsed to their knees following a colossal, but ultimately unsuccessful, effort against the reigning champions on a sodden evening in Paris egame
While head coach Borthwick was similarly crestfallen by the dramatic late twist at Stade de France, he was proud of the efforts of his team and upbeat about what lies ahead egame
“We came here with a plan to win the game and we fell a little bit short, not far short but a little bit short, so we’re desperately disappointed,” he said egame
“I think we all truly believed we could do it, we were going to do it, and we came very close to doing so egame
“In adversity, in these tough times, there’s usually some seed of it there that will grow and be something brilliant in the future egame
“Right now it’s too early for me to find that seed but we’ll make sure we find it egame
“We’ll make sure that we take some of what we find tonight, some of what we’ve gone through tonight, we’ll make sure we grab that and we’ll make sure it makes us stronger in the future egame
”Captain Owen Farrell produced an outstanding performance, kicking all of his side’s points, including a superb drop goal egame
His efforts looked to be sufficient for victory but RG Snyman barged over for the only try of the match in the 70th minute to set up a grandstand finish egame
Man-of-the-match Pollard, who booted the Springboks to victory over England in the 2019 final, nailed the tricky conversion and then landed a monster penalty two minutes from time to inflict more anguish on the opposition egame
“The players should be incredibly proud of what they’ve done and continue to do as they represent England rugby,” continued Borthwick egame
“I know I’ll have at home a couple of young boys who are going to be bitterly disappointed and I’m sure there are lots of people that are proud but also gutted back in England, I’m sure there are millions of people like that egame
“I care about these players, I care about these supporters, and I care about English rugby egame
“What I see is a group of guys who are doing as much as they possibly can to set an example, to build a team, to have supporters proud of them egame
“They’re led by this man next to me (Farrell), who I think has been and continues to be a phenomenal player and an incredible leader of this team egame
”New Zealand await South Africa in next weekend’s final egame
Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber praised his team’s fighting spirit egame
“I pay a lot of credit to England,” he said egame
“They were outstanding on the night egame
“They had a very good tactical plan and they put us under pressure egame
We will have to improve because it took us some time to get to grips with it egame
“But the strength of this team is that even if we’re not playing well we find a way to get the result egame
“It took 80 minutes to get a foothold in the game egame
The team refused to give up and fought until the end egame
”Springboks captain Siya Kolisi was convinced fly-half Pollard, who came on for Manie Libbok with only half an hour gone, would land the decisive penalty from just inside England’s half egame
“I had no doubt at all,” he said egame
“He’s done it for us before egame
“England are a world-class team and completely different to a year ago egame
They had an amazing game plan which we took too long to adapt to egame
“These things happen but we dug deep to get the victory egame
Other teams wouldn’t be able to get the win from this egame
I’m not going to say it was ugly, we did what was needed egame
