Marcus Smith given full-back role for England's World Cup Quarter-Final

It will be the converted fly-half's second start in the number 15 jersey having starred against Chile during the group phase.

England's Marcus Smith has been given a full-back role for the clash with Fiji.

England have rolled the dice for Sunday's World Cup quarter-final against Fiji by naming Marcus Smith at full-back in place of the jettisoned Freddie Steward.

Steward has been an automatic pick since making his Test debut in July 2021 but the high-ball master is omitted from the 23 entirely as Steve Borthwick instead opts for the greater attacking threat supplied by Smith.
