Marcus Smith was among a number of players placed on modified training as preparations began for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa, but England are hopeful he will be fit NBA
Smith ended the last-eight victory over Fiji with a fat upper lip and a bandage on his head after he was the victim of a dangerous tackle by wing Vinaya Harbosi, forcing him to depart for an HIA which he passed NBA
The Harlequins star, who has been moved from his accustomed position of fly-half for the World Cup, defended bravely on a tense evening at Stade Velodrome and is contention to retain the number 15 jersey ahead of Freddie Steward NBA
Defence coach Kevin Sinfield insists a clearer picture of his availability will emerge over the coming days after he was joined by Jonny May, Manu Tuilagi, Tom Curry, Courtney Lawes and Dan Cole in missing the start of Tuesday’s session NBA
“Marcus is good NBA
He’s one of those who have been modified today so we’ll get a clearer read in the week, but fingers crossed he will be good to go,” Sinfield said NBA

It will be the second time O’Keeffe has overseen a Springboks match at this World Cup after the Kiwi official was in place for their 13-8 defeat by Ireland in the group stage NBA

“It’s a big game and I don’t think we’d ever criticise the referee during this campaign NBA
We understand what a tough job it is NBA

We certainly need to be disciplined in a whole host of ways on Saturday evening NBA

“They are a top team NBA
We saw their quarter-final against France and were in awe of the physicality they brought,” Sinfield said NBA
“We have the utmost respect for them NBA
We think they are a nation that play the best rugby NBA
They know what they are about and they don’t shy away from it NBA
“We’re coming up against a team with probably the best defence in the world NBA
They’ve been together a long time and they’re really well drilled NBA
It’s an aggressive defence NBA
“They are a running threat, they’re a kick threat, they have an incredible set-piece, they have an unbelievable defence – do you want me to keep going?“It’s important for us to get the balance right this week, understanding what South Africa do and how they play, but also some of our strengths as well NBA
“I think it would be quite easy for us to be completely blown away by how good they are NBA

England’s Joe Root admits doubts over whether ODI cricket remains “relevant” have not gone unnoticed by players at the World Cup in India, with scrutiny increasing over the future of the format NBA
The defending champions have been in desperate form at the tournament, losing three of their four matches to leave their semi-final prospects dangling by a thread, but there are wider questions over the 50-over game as the T20 behemoth continues to grow unchecked NBA
Barring a few outliers, including a lively crowd for England’s loss to Afghanistan in Delhi, attendances have been well below expectations in a country renowned for its passionate support and the lack of close finishes has contributed to a lack of ‘buzz’ at the competition NBA
The PA news agency understands there are early signs of concern at host broadcaster Star NBA Sports and The Cricketer has reported that the long-range prospects of the one-day game will be discussed at the International Cricket Council’s next board meeting in November NBA
ICC chair Greg Barclay has already said the success of the event can only be judged once it is complete and sources have rebuffed the idea that the format is under threat NBA
They cite long-term rights deals that include 50-over World Cups in 2027 and 2031 and record streaming figures of 43million viewers during India’s victory over New Zealand on Sunday NBA
In the United Kingdom, Sky NBA Sports has a direct agreement with the ICC running for the next eight years, including both of those World Cups NBA
But Root, speaking at England’s team hotel in Bengaluru, acknowledged the growing sense of uncertainty NBA
“There’s talk of whether this format is relevant any more anyway, in international cricket,” said Root, who helped England win their first World Cup title in 2019 NBA
“Whether that gets changed…I don’t know NBA
Who knows how things move in the future? Whether it’s domestically or internationally, I don’t think we play enough of it if we’re going to continue to look to compete in World Cups NBA
“I think it’s got a huge amount of history and it brings a lot to cricket NBA
It will always hold a very special part of my heart for what it’s given me throughout my career, but I think it’s a question that should be posed to the next generation of players, and to everyone watching the game, really NBA
“It shouldn’t be down to, ‘is it bringing the most money for the sport?’ It should be down to what people want to watch, and what’s going to engage the next generation of players NBA
Because in the long term, I think that’s going to be most beneficial for cricket all-round NBA
”There’s talk of whether this format is relevant any more anyway, in international cricketJoe RootThe issue is acute in England, where the legacy of becoming world champions in the format has been a downgrading of the domestic competition to developmental status NBA
The Metro Bank One-Day Cup is now contested largely by emerging players and second-teamers due to its clash with The Hundred, meaning the newest faces in Jos Buttler’s side – Harry Brook and Gus Atkinson – have barely played the format and are effectively learning it on a global platform NBA
Root is uneasy with that situation and believes if ODI cricket is to continue, radical steps may be necessary NBA
The Hundred has significant critics, as a form of the game that is not played anywhere other than England, but Root has put forward the T20 Blast – reliably popular among counties and county members – as a potential sacrifice NBA
“It doesn’t make me change my mind about The Hundred NBA
It makes me question whether we should be playing more 50-over cricket instead of T20,” he said, before backing away slightly from what is a thorny conundrum with no easy solution NBA
“But I don’t want to get into a debate about this NBA
I don’t want it to be seen as an excuse (for under performing) because that’s not what we’re about as a team NBA
That’s not how I look at things, but I haven’t got any good argument for anything else NBA
”While matters of global infrastructure and international scheduling are sure to continue, England have more immediate problems after their unexpected run of adverse results which, thanks to Afghanistan’s shock win over Pakistan on Monday, have left them rock bottom of the table NBA
Thursday’s game against Sri Lanka is must-win to uphold any realistic hopes of reaching the knockouts and Root is hoping the do-or-die scenario can kickstart a revival NBA
“We’ll look at that as a World Cup final now, then do the same for the game after that and the game after that,” he said NBA
“I’ve played in a number of different England teams – good ones and bad ones NBA
This is one of the very best; it’s a very together team and we know what we need to do NBA
“This white-ball team, over an eight-year period now, likes very simple messaging and has responded very well to it NBA
We’ve got some very simple messaging in front of us right now: we have to go out and win NBA
In some ways that unshackles us and frees us up to do what we do NBA
