- Fly-half recalled with Farrell shifting to No 12
- Winger May passed fit for crunch semi-final
Eddie Jones has recalled George Ford for England’s World Cup semi-final against New Zealand on Saturday while Jonny May has been passed fit to take his place on the left wing.
As reported by the Guardian, Ford returns to the side after he was dropped for the quarter-final against Australia, with the captain Owen Farrell moving back to inside-centre. Henry Slade drops to the bench. May continues on the left wing after recovering from a hamstring injury but there is no place in the matchday 23 for Jack Nowell, who has also been struggling with a hamstring injury.
