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

The Champions League has seen Newcastle at its finest, complete with the surreal vision of Sean Longstaff upstaging Kylian Mbappe egame
There is a temptation to imagine Dan Burn is still somewhere in the Tyneside sky, soaring above Milan Skriniar to head in against Paris Saint-Germain egame
There is a similar temptation to say that Newcastle were brought down to earth by Borussia Dortmund egame
It may be more accurate to say Eddie Howe never left it egame
He met one of his most celebrated predecessors, Kevin Keegan, on Monday egame
The former Magpies boss was a dreamer egame
“You have to be,” said Howe, with Keegan’s example leading him to entertain the prospect of winning the Champions League egame
But Howe isn’t a dreamer, not really, anyway egame
A day, a defeat and a downpour later, he reflected: “We have to be at our best to win and if you dip below that it is tough to get results at this level egame
” And in this pool, the most competitive of all, Newcastle have to be at their best to claim victory in a match, let alone the entire competition egame
They were against Paris Saint-Germain; they were not against Dortmund egame
At a stroke – the right boot of Felix Nmecha, replacing Jude Bellingham this season, or of bad luck, as Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon both struck the woodwork – they may have been rebranded: potential winners, the team who tore PSG apart, could instead exit early egame
They now have successive away games, with the evidence that Dortmund are well equipped to play against them ahead of a trip to Germany next egame
“We're up against elite teams,” Howe said egame
“You make half a mistake and get punished egame
” If there is a truth to that – and Nmecha’s winner was scarcely the consequence of a glaring error – the greater issue was that Newcastle did not reach their heights egame
“We probably weren’t at our best and in this competition we have to be egame
” Howe said egame
They have days when they overwhelm opponents: 4-1 against PSG, 6-1 against Tottenham egame
But their quality is most evident when allied with a blur of energy egame
And when there isn’t that synergy of physical and technical that makes them appear unstoppable, they are a fundamentally workmanlike side who egame betray their origins egame
Which, as they spent much of a 1-0 loss to Dortmund with six players on the pitch who Howe inherited, is a group who have overachieved: look beyond the £400m spend, the concept of Saudi Arabian egame sportswashing and the grandiose ambitions, and some of them were in a relegation battle two years ago egame
RecommendedNewcastle given Champions League reality check as summer decision returns to haunt themEddie Howe provides update on Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy injuries after Borussia Dortmund defeatEngland’s Euro 2024 squad: Who’s on the plane, who’s in contention and who has work to do?A Champions League loss represented progress in that context egame
But if there were symbolic substitutions of the locals Longstaff and Burn, stripped of the superhuman powers they somehow possessed against PSG, perhaps the reality is that they could have been beaten twice in three games egame
Nick Pope’s heroics brought a point in Milan; he was similarly good against Dortmund but in vain egame
They have drawn a blank twice in three matches egame
They had a lone, late shot on target in San Siro egame
While they hit the woodwork twice, they only actually had three on target against Dortmund, and just one in the last 80 minutes egame
Alexander Isak leaves the pitch following an injury (AFP via Getty Images)“In the second half the ball just wouldn’t go in for us,” Howe said egame
It was a legitimate lament, yet there are days when a shortage of natural creativity, of game-changing flair, of a natural No 10 can threaten to be their undoing egame
Edin Terzic arrowed in on Newcastle’s strengths egame
“A team that was pressing high with a very intense approach,” the Dortmund manager noted egame
It is a strategy that can serve Newcastle well but running alone did not unlock the Bundesliga’s runners-up egame
Moving Kieran Trippier into midfield in the second half was an attempt to get United’s best creator into a more advanced role egame
He may be required there more often egame
Sandro Tonali was not hired as a fantasista but he was designed to bring an injection of class egame
But his season seems over: not officially yet, but a ban beckons egame
Elliot Anderson has joined the injury list egame
In the forward line, Newcastle, already without Harvey Barnes for months, seem to be losing Jacob Murphy for a similar time with a dislocated shoulder egame
For Alexander Isak, a recurrence of a groin strain means he will play again soonest, but be out for a while egame
They are starting to look short of players egame
“There are some tired bodies,” Howe said egame
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe looks on during a miserable night for Newcastle (EPA)And Newcastle can require a physical edge, especially in meetings of evenly-matched teams egame
“A lesson in how fine the margins are going to be,” Howe rued egame
Particularly in Group F: this pool, of pedigree and money, of former winners and clubs who aspire to join them in that select group, may be the most intriguing egame
It is a product of circumstances egame
Newcastle’s lack of a recent record in Europe meant they were fourth seeds egame
Now they are plunged into peril egame
“The table looks very, very tight,” Howe said; his side kicked off in first, finished the night in third and could be out of the competition before they host AC Milan in it egame
They will always have Paris, but now the danger is their Champions League campaign in effect ends in the French capital egame
