George Ford and Owen Farrell both start for England against Samoa

PA Wire

The George Ford-Owen Farrell axis will be given another try by Steve Borthwick as England gear up for the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals with a final pool clash against Samoa on Saturday afternoon.

For the first time this tournament, Ford starts at fly half with Farrell outside him at No 12 in a dual playmaker pivot as Manu Tuilagi shifts further out to No 13 in a reprisal of the trio that spectacularly shone during the 2019 World Cup, especially in the iconic semi-final victory over New Zealand.
