Meanwhile, Owen Farrell is set to make his return as the No. 10 with George Ford shifted to the bench.

On this report, one fan wrote: “Feel really sorry for George Ford, who’s been a real success at No 10. I would have kept him there and started Farrell at inside centre.”

Another commented: “The Steve Borthwick reward to George Ford for his Man of the Match performances in the last 2. @EnglandRugby games? Benched for Owen Farrell.”

Courtney Lawes, who had been filling in as the stand-in captain during Farrell’s suspension, is expected to be given a rest for the match against Chile in Lille.

In this third Rugby World Cup game, it is believed that flanker Jack Willis and second row David Ribbans will be making their first starts for the England team.

Despite calls for George Ford to maintain his place in the squad due to his standout performances, it appears that the head coach, Borthwick, has decided to reinstate Farrell as captain at the earliest opportunity
