Well the Match of Group A, which is set to be played on Friday evening..
England have announced their squad, but several changes are likely to occur from it due to injuries...
England team to play South Africa in Stade de France, Friday 14 September: Robinson, Lewsey, Noon, Catt, Sackey; Barkley, Perry; Sheridan, Regan, Vickery (capt); Shaw, Kay; Corry, Rees, Easter. Replacements: Chuter, Stevens, Borthwick, Moody, Gomarsall, Farrell, TBA.
With Olly Barkley likely to be ruled out of the squad due to a hip injury, it leaves England with a Fly Half Dilemna, also we are likely to Vickery being cited and banned for this match. Mathew Tait and Dan Hipkiss also been in isolation after they have been suffering from illness this week it has left a place on the bench as currently there is no fit back 3 replacement. This puts England in a very difficult situation leading up to this game. England could call on the likes of Charlie Hodgson or Toby Flood as replacements for the injured Wilkinson or Barkley, but it would mean a player from the squad would have to be cut.
With South Africa yet to announce their squad, the only loss for them at the moment is the doubt over Schalk Burger who could be cited for a dangerous tackle in the Samoan game.
