England’s third-place play-off against Argentina starts on Friday after a week of controversy surrounding Curry.

World Rugby is investigating the flanker’s claim that he was abused by South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi during England’s semi-final loss.

Two of the eight new starters are Marcus Smith at full-back and Henry Arundell on the wing.

In his 127th and final England Test, scrum-half Ben Youngs makes his first start of the tournament.

With his retirement from international rugby, Youngs joins Courtney Lawes as England’s most capped men’s player.

After being left out of the 23-man matchday squad, Lawes played his final England match.

As a replacement for Jack Willis during the pool stages, Sam Underhill makes his first appearance of the tournament.

In order to accommodate Smith’s inclusion, Freddie Steward switches to the wing, which means Johnny May’s international career is over.

At fly-half, Owen Farrell continues, while Ellis Genge, Theo Dan, and Will Stuart make up an all-new front row.
