Jim Ratcliffe to control Man Utd's football operations as £1.3bn deal edges closerin Paris next Saturday evening when they will play France or South Africa. New Zealand and Argentina will contest the other tie the day before.
Nayacalevu protested with his hands held skywards, then turned his back on Raynal in a refusal to be placated. A few metres away England’s No.8 Ben Earl was fist-pumping in his now trademark celebration as part of his side’s mixture of ecstasy and relief..
Joe Marchant had England’s other first-half try, converted by Farrell, while Fiji created a sweet score for No.8 Bill Mata with a through-the-legs pass by fly-half Vilimoni Botitu, and it was 21-10 to England at the break Judging the efficacy of Marcus Smith at full-back in attack for England was difficult but his defensive determination was clear as he was bloodied about the nose and the back of the head.
Borthwick, who had dropped George Ford to hand Farrell his favourite No.10 role, said: “I’ll reiterate the words I have said many times – he is a fantastic leader, the kind of leader I would follow into the pitch. On these big occasions, he gets even better, we are very fortunate to have him.”Asked if England would be underdogs in Saturday’s semi-final in Paris, Borthwick said: “I don’t really care what other people think of us. I just care about the team.
