Ashton Rings Changes for Springboks
The England coach Brian Ashton has dropped Lawrence Dallaglio and Mark Cueto for his side's crucial group A match with South Africa on Friday night. There is no place for Jonny Wilkinson, who has failed to recover from an ankle injury sustained in training before the tournament.
Meanwhile Phil Vickery - who has been cited on a charge of kicking the USA's Paul Emerick during Saturday's 28-10 win in Lens - is named in England's starting XV.
England team: Robinson, Lewsey, Noon, Catt, Sackey, Barkley, Perry, Easter, Rees, Corry, Kay, Shaw, Vickery (captain), Regan, Sheridan.
Replacements: Chuter, Stevens, Borthwick, Moody, Gomarsall, Farrell.
