Rugby World Cup: Owen Farrell replaces George Ford at fly-half for England v Fiji
Written by I Dig SportsOwen Farrell will replace George Ford at fly-half for England's Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Fiji, with Marcus Smith starting at full-back.
Ford started three of England's four pool games at 10, with Farrell suspended for the first two matches.
The fly-half now drops to the bench, with Joe Marchant and Manu Tuilagi in the centre for Sunday's game.
Jonny May and Elliot Daly will start on the wing in Marseille, while England's forward pack is unchanged.
Steve Borthwick has restored Farrell and Smith to the positions they held in England's 71-0 win against Chile.
Scrum-half Danny Care and centre Ollie Lawrence are the other backs on England's bench.
"Everyone knows just what an unpredictably dangerous opposition Fiji can be," Borthwick said.
"However, we have shown in the group stages how we can win games, and we will be calling on that experience and determination to ensure we carry on our journey."
Fiji beat England for the first time in a World Cup warm-up at Twickenham on 26 August.
