Eleanor Roper breaks down Steve Borthwick's squad selection and what to expect from England heading into this weekend's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Fiji
England wing Jonny May says Marcus Smith 'deserves his opportunity' at full-back after his controversial selection for their Rugby World Cup quarter-final with Fiji on Sunday. Head coach Steve Borthwick has made two changes to the team which squeezed past Samoa in their final group game, with Owen Farrell playing at fly-half, Smith at full-back and George Ford left on the bench.
We arrived in France and since then we've been excellent. 'It has been a challenge over the last nine or 10 months, so to find ourselves in such a big game against great opposition is pretty special.'We're really looking forward to tomorrow. We've got a great deal of confidence in the group selected to go and do the job.
