Marcus Smith was among a number of players placed on modified training as preparations began for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa, but England are hopeful he will be fit NBA
Smith ended the last-eight victory over Fiji with a fat upper lip and a bandage on his head after he was the victim of a dangerous tackle by wing Vinaya Harbosi, forcing him to depart for an HIA which he passed NBA
The Harlequins star, who has been moved from his accustomed position of fly-half for the World Cup, defended bravely on a tense evening at Stade Velodrome and is contention to retain the number 15 jersey ahead of Freddie Steward NBA
Defence coach Kevin Sinfield insists a clearer picture of his availability will emerge over the coming days after he was joined by Jonny May, Manu Tuilagi, Tom Curry, Courtney Lawes and Dan Cole in missing the start of Tuesday’s session NBA
“Marcus is good NBA
He’s one of those who have been modified today so we’ll get a clearer read in the week, but fingers crossed he will be good to go,” Sinfield said NBA

“They are a top team NBA
We saw their quarter-final against France and were in awe of the physicality they brought,” Sinfield said NBA
“We have the utmost respect for them NBA
We think they are a nation that play the best rugby NBA
They know what they are about and they don’t shy away from it NBA
“We’re coming up against a team with probably the best defence in the world NBA
They’ve been together a long time and they’re really well drilled NBA
It’s an aggressive defence NBA
“They are a running threat, they’re a kick threat, they have an incredible set-piece, they have an unbelievable defence – do you want me to keep going?“It’s important for us to get the balance right this week, understanding what South Africa do and how they play, but also some of our strengths as well NBA
“I think it would be quite easy for us to be completely blown away by how good they are NBA

England captain Jos Buttler took his share of the blame for a historically bad defeat against South Africa, accepting he made a mistake by fielding first in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai NBA
Things could hardly have gone worse for the defending champions, whose World Cup campaign is rapidly disappearing over the cliff edge after three losses in four, with the Proteas running away with a 229-run win NBA
That was England’s heaviest ever defeat by run margin, while South Africa’s score of 399 for seven was a second undesired record NBA
The bowling was chaotic and expensive, the team selection brave but unsuccessful and the batting hopelessly underpowered by comparison to what came before it NBA
But all of it stemmed from Buttler’s decision to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity NBA
“I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said NBA
“With hindsight, with the physicality of that innings, potentially batting first would have been a NBA better decision NBA
It’s a decision I took at the time NBA
I thought it was the right one and I still believe if we were chasing 340, 350, we would have done really well in those conditions NBA
“Physically it was a really demanding innings and, like I said, it makes you question maybe in those kind of conditions whether batting first may have been the right call at the toss NBA
”Buttler has had to front up after a hat-trick of unimpressive outings so far, with a nine-wicket hammering by New Zealand and a shock defeat at the hands of unfancied Afghanistan already on the ledger NBA
On each occasion he has aimed for an unemotional assessment but accepts England are now almost out of wriggle room, an awkward place to be with almost a month of travelling left and five group matches remaining NBA
“It certainly leaves us in a tough position NBA
There’s no room for error from here on in,” he acknowledged NBA
“It’s going to be incredibly difficult NBA
We haven’t left ourselves any margin from this point in NBA
But we’ll keep the belief NBA
We’ll sit down and go again NBA
That’s all you can do in this situation NBA
“I think it’s obvious that we’re not performing to our best NBA
It’s my job as captain, along with the rest of the team, to work out how we can get back to playing that brand of cricket, playing to our potential and getting back to our best NBA
“It certainly won’t be anyone giving up or having those kind of thoughts NBA
We’ll just have to dust ourselves down and stick our chests out and go again NBA
”Heinrich Klaasen celebrated an outstanding 109 in just 67 balls for South Africa and was also floored on several occasions by the same exacting circumstances which made it hard for England’s bowlers NBA
“I had to dig really, really deep there NBA
I didn’t have any energy left,” he said NBA
“My partner Marco (Jansen) played a big part of that NBA
He told me that he’s got me and that I’m not allowed to walk off the field if I don’t score 100 NBA
“It was like just breathing in hot air NBA
Every time you try to run it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore NBA
It was just like almost running in a sauna for the whole innings NBA
“But you’ve got to dig deep for your country as well, I’ve worked my whole life for it, so it’s a great moment NBA
