Marcus Smith was ruled out of England’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa because of concussion, head coach Steve Borthwick has confirmed egame
Smith has been replaced at full-back by Freddie Steward after he took a series of blows in the last-eight victory over Fiji that resulted in him finishing the match with a bandaged head and fat lip egame
A tackle by wing Vinaya Habosi forced him to undergo an HIA which he passed, but he failed the subsequent return to play protocols and has been stood down for Saturday’s Stade de France showdown egame
England have made two further changes to their starting XV with prop Joe Marler and lock George Martin coming in for Ellis Genge and Ollie Chessum respectively egame
“Marcus was unavailable for selection due to the return to play protocols egame
He was ruled out earlier in the week,” Borthwick said egame
“He took a knock in the game and passed the first parts of the HIA process, which meant he finished the game egame
“Then there are subsequent parts of the HIA process and one part of that he did not pass egame
And then it was confirmed to me he was unavailable for selection egame
“He is perfectly fine in terms of symptoms – he doesn’t feel anything egame
We’d expect him to be available for selection after this weekend egame
It’s right to reiterate that player welfare is critical and vital to us egame
”Whether a fit Smith would have been retained at 15 is unknown, but it appears unlikely given the precision and variety of South Africa’s kicking game egame
Smith offers a cutting edge in attack but Steward is one of the game’s most accomplished full-backs – ultra-dependable under the high ball, strong in defence and a key component of England’s kick-chase egame
Captain Owen Farrell is aware of the aerial onslaught coming in Paris but is backing Steward to thrive egame
“The thing about Freddie is everybody knows how good he is in the air, everybody knows what a fantastic player he is in general,” Farrell said egame
“But it’s the want to do it, the want to be in those battles, the want to go and get the ball back for his team, the want to defuse what’s coming our way egame
He is one of the best in the world at it egame
We've done our work and we've come up with our plan to negate what we can from themOwen Farrell on South Africa“The kicking game has been a massive weapon for South Africa for years and years now egame
They’ve progressed it and they go on with a lot of contestable kicks egame
“We’ve done our work and we’ve come up with our plan to negate what we can from them but also looking to be able to attack ourselves egame
”The adjustments to the tight five see Marler’s scrummaging prowess get him the nod ahead of Genge, with Borthwick noting that South Africa have the “best scrum in the world” egame
Martin will bring physicality to the second row while Genge and Chessum will take their place in England’s answer to the ‘Bomb Squad’ – the heavyweight forward reinforcements that the Springboks summon from the bench egame
South Africa this week rejected the suggestion that in their quarter-final victory over France they used HIAs to rotate forwards Mbongeni Mbonambi, Pieter-Steph Du Toit and Duane Vermeulen, enabling them to take a rest egame
Director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has a reputation for taking an innovative approach to the laws and testing their boundaries, but Borthwick has faith in the officials to spot any mischief egame
“We have got a match officials team that’s world class, led by Ben O’Keeffe,” Borthwick said egame
“I am sure everybody around the pitch as well will have every bit of process in place egame
There is no issues there from our perspective egame

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best egame
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport egame
But there are no Blacks in your sport egame
“They’re going to want to kill you egame
”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on egame
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car egame
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events egame
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all egame
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself egame
“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed egame
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride egame
“But I enjoyed it egame
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun egame
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me egame
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating egame
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs egame
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality egame
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 egame
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” egame
But to this interview, he’s late egame
And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems egame
It was the racing way or the highway egame
Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas egame
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill egame
That’s all that was discussed in the family egame
We didn’t discuss any other sport egame
“I was lucky, I think egame
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be egame
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did egame
And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One egame
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s egame
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too egame
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril egame
Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer egame
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time egame
Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says egame
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team egame
For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders egame
“Sure egame
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done egame
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it egame
But for me? It was about going fast egame
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali egame
“What I admired about him the most was not his egame boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali egame
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled egame
Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while egame
’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about egame
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs egame
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience egame
The attention went off the chart egame
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods egame
“He’s a very kind man egame
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way egame
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair egame
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with egame
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently egame
”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world egame
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made egame
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says egame
“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One egame
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ egame
