Three Leicester Tigers players start for England in Rugby World Cup semi-final

England's biggest test of the Rugby World Cup yet comes this weekend as they chase a place in next week's final in Paris.

Steve Borthwick's side are huge underdogs as they take on South Africa, in a re-run of the 2019 Final. It's just under a year since Borthwick left Welford Road to take up the England job, and he stands just 80 minutes away from guiding his own country to the biggest game in rugby.

Three Leicester Tigers players start for England tomorrow night against the Springboks - Freddie Steward was recalled to the starting 15 to feature alongside George Martin and Dan Cole. Elsewhere, Ollie Chessum is named on the replacements bench.

Cole started his career at South Leicester Rugby Club, and they'll be watching on tomorrow night. Hear a voice note they sent us followed by Ady Dayman speaking to Freddie's Dad Ben Steward and Ollie's mum Michelle.
