England

Changes to England's 17 for France after the Tonga loss? "It's never a no," Brian McDermott said. "I didn't wake up thinking that team needs to change." He will look at it over the next 72 hours, and expects a "stronger" France after their loss to Samoa.

England have no injuries from the loss to Tonga, "none as of yet," Brian McDermott said, and the game plan isn't changing: "We just got to be more patient and not cough the ball up as much as we did." With two pool games left, "We've got to win the next 2 games."
