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

“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

Danny Care is ready for the biggest game of his life when England face South Africa in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals 22bet
A repeat of the 2019 final will see England arrive at Stade de France on Saturday as the tournament’s solitary remaining unbeaten team 22bet
Four successive pool-stage victories and a quarter-final triumph against Fiji have combined to confound the critics who predicted an underwhelming tournament for Steve Borthwick’s team 22bet
And while reigning world champions South Africa are firm favourites, resilient England remain in the fight 22bet
“We have got two more weeks and a massive game to fly into, which will be the biggest game of my life 22bet
I can’t wait,” England scrum-half Care said 22bet
“I think the character of this team was questioned before the World Cup and whether we had anything in us to come out here and do anything 22bet
“Hopefully, we have quietly gone about our business and ticked off a few wins 22bet
Four from four in the pools, a fifth in the quarter-final against a team who everybody was saying was going to surprise us and beat us 22bet
“It clicked when we got over here, training went up a notch, perhaps because of the severity of where we were and the realisation that we were at a World Cup – the last one for a few of us, the first for others 22bet
“That mixture came together and we gave it our all 22bet
We feel like we deserve to be here 22bet
We are going to give it our all next weekend and try and make everyone at home proud 22bet
“We have got a lot of lads who played in the World Cup final four years ago, a lot of lads who have won big trophies, won big games 22bet
We will use all of that next week to hopefully get another big win 22bet
“We are delighted to be in the semi-final of this World Cup – one step closer to the dream 22bet
”At 36, Care might be in the twilight phase of a Test career that began 15 years ago, but he has showcased every bit of experience gained from winning 94 England caps 22bet
We have got two more weeks and a massive game to fly into, which will be the biggest game of my life 22bet
I can't waitDanny CareHe followed up scoring the winning try in England’s tense victory over Samoa by being at the forefront of the impressive finale in Marseille that repelled a thrilling Fiji fightback and closed out a 30-24 win 22bet
Owen Farrell’s drop goal and penalty confirmed a semi-final ticket, and Care said of the England captain: “Owen was brilliant, as George (Ford) has been brilliant for four games 22bet
“I have played with Owen for 10-12 years now 22bet
His levels never dip, both on the field and off the pitch 22bet
He is an unbelievable person, an unbelievable player 22bet
“I still think he won’t get the recognition he properly deserves until he stops playing, which I still find incredible 22bet
He is showing again and again what a wonderful world-class player he is 22bet
He is a top bloke 22bet
