Harry Smith will continue alongside England captain George Williams in the half-back roles, despite both being overpowered by Tonga last weekend.

（暂无翻译）
England must win their next two games, against France next Saturday and Papua New Guinea on 30 October, to stand a realistic chance of progression - and because of the World Cup's format, probably need to win them both by a big score.
（暂无翻译）
Even then, there is the strong possibility that England will not know their fate for certain until two days later, when Tonga face 2022 finalists Samoa in their last group game.
