Rugby World Cup 2023: Ireland and Scotland face showdown in Lyon<\/h3>\n

Rugby World Cup stars have one eye on the knockout rounds as the pool stage comes to a close. England and Wales have already advanced to the next stage of the tournament with games to spare, while Scotland and Ireland are desperate to join them.<\/p>\n

England face their final Pool D clash against Samoa on Saturday but have already qualified for the quarter-finals. Steve Borthwick is set to start with a dual-playmaker pivot of George Ford and Owen Farrell in a bid to find out his best team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scotland and Ireland also face a battle in France on the same day. A place in the knockout rounds could be at stake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What next for England?<\/h3>\n

England face Samoa in Lille on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Borthwick\u2019s side have taken advantage of a favourable Group D and have already breezed into the next round, maintaining an unbeaten record.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Curry is set to return to the back line after his red card just 120 seconds into England\u2019s opener against Argentina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Country may face ban<\/h3>\n

South Africa may apparently be banned from playing under their own flag and singing their national anthem, reports suggest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s government missed a deadline to<\/span> comply with the latest World Anti-Doping Code (Wada) that came into force in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Daily Maverick, the government must amend its own outdated drug-free sport act but reportedly has fewer than 10 days to do so.<\/p>\n

England star to miss rest of the tournament<\/h3>\n

England star Jack Willis has been sent home from the tournament with a neck injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flanker suffered the problem in the 71-0 thrashing of Chile and is the latest in a long list of injury issues for the 26-year-old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Head coach Borthwick has announced that a replacement will arrive in France.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are obviously really disappointed for Jack. He has been an important member of this team and this squad,” Borthwick said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We anticipate the injury will just be a few weeks, but clearly with the timescales we operate in he will be replaced in the 33.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He is naturally very, very disappointed. His return to being back on the field has already started – a determined man like that wants to be at his very best and getting stuck into the work that needs to be done.”<\/p>\n
