Lewis Ludlam starts at No 8 as Steve Borthwick shuffles his pack following Tom Curry's two-match ban
Genge drops to the bench, where he will be joined by Billy Vunipola, who returns following a two-match ban. Scrum-half Ben Youngs takes Danny Care’s spot among England’s replacements this week, while Marcus Smith retains his place as full-back cover.
Curry’s sending off for a head-on-head clash with Argentina’s Juan Cruz Mallia was the third English red card in four matches, withand Billy Vunipola also having been handed suspensions recently. Farrell will complete his four-game suspension this weekend. Despite losing a man in the opening minutes of that encounter, England emerged victorious from their first game of the World Cup courtesy of three drop goals and six penalties from fly-half, Farrell’s replacement whose last Test start for England before this tournament came back in 2021.
Ford equalled Jonny Wilkinson’s England record of three drop goals in a Test, recorded against France in the 2003 World Cup semi-final. England’s Pool D match against Japan at the Stade de Nice on Sunday, 17 September is scheduled to kick off at 8pm BST.
