Kevin Sinfield has hailed the bravery of Marcus Smith as England consider their full-back options for the Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa soccer

Smith made a couple of key defensive interventions in the quarter-final against Fiji despite suffering a cut to the lip after an early head-on-head collision with Vinaya Habosi soccer

His selection had come at the expense of Freddie Steward, who had started 29 of his country’s previous 30 games but found himself omitted from the matchday 23 soccer

England could opt to return Steward to the starting side, though defence coach Sinfield praised Smith’s development into a “world class” full-back soccer

“You’ve got to remember this guy hasn’t played many minutes as a full-back in Test rugby so far soccer

“What he’s done on the training field has been outstanding soccer

You’re blown away by what he does and he’s been given more time and space now soccer

“If there was any doubt how brave and courageous he is, I think you saw it with your own eyes soccer

The bloke got his face smashed and threw his body into tackles soccer

The guys are in full admiration for how he’s gone about it soccer

He’s just got his face smashed all over the place yet he wants the ball soccer

“He’s just a brave guy soccer

And not just because he’s physically tough, brave, because to be put in like that – and I know he wanted to go for it – but to be put on a world stage in a quarter-final and deliver what he delivered was an absolute credit to him soccer

“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 soccer

”Sinfield was the first England coach to float the idea of Smith at full-back during their pre-tournament camps this summer, with a couple of encouraging cameos earning the 24-year-old a first professional start at the position against Chile soccer

His emergence has left Steward in a strange position: the Leicester youngster had been a mainstay for England since his debut and had been considered a key part of head coach Steve Borthwick’s gameplan leading into the tournament soccer

“This is where our influence, our help, and our guidance sits with the guys who don’t play, how can we help them get soccer better, make them feel part of it,” Sinfield explained soccer

“I have worked with Fred for some time now and thankfully I have not had to have too many of these conversations where you are trying to pick him up soccer

“Clearly he is disappointed as anybody would be missing out on a quarter-final but he has responded as we would have expected him to soccer

He is a great lad, you know what he is about, he works incredibly hard at his game, he cares and he is an unbelievable full-back too soccer

“Our team has changed every game throughout the World Cup and Steve is very specific when he selects the team soccer

He does it in the knowledge he thinks it will give us the best chance of winning that game soccer

Just because Fred wasn’t selected last week doesn’t mean he does anything wrong, he has actually done a lot of great things and a lot of things right soccer

Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali could be involved in Saturday’s Premier League clash with Wolves despite being handed a 10-month ban soccer

The Italian soccer Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed on Thursday that the 23-year-old had been suspended until next season after agreeing a plea bargain as part of an investigation into illegal soccer betting activity soccer

However, Newcastle say they are yet to be officially informed of the ban, which is yet to be ratified by world governing body Fifa and, as it stands, the £55m summer signing from AC Milan was due to travel to the Midlands on Friday afternoon with the rest of the squad soccer

Magpies head coach Eddie Howe said: “It’s a difficult one because we haven’t had official confirmation as a soccer football club yet soccer

“We’ve heard the news, the statement, but we haven’t had anything from the Italian authorities at the moment, so we’re in limbo, really, waiting for that official confirmation to come through soccer

”Asked if there was a chance the Italy international could be involved at Molineux, Howe added: “Yes, I think there’s a high chance again that he could be available for us soccer

“I still think there are a few things that have to happen before the ban is imposed, so let’s see soccer

”I think there's a high chance again that he could be available for usEddie Howe on Sandro TonaliThe Italy international was also fined 20,000 euros and will have to undergo eight months of therapy as well as carrying out a series of public appearances soccer

Tonali found himself at the centre of a probe during this month’s international break into breaches of soccer betting rules and was alleged to have wagered on games involving former clubs Brescia and Milan during his spells with them soccer

Agent Giuseppe Riso has claimed Tonali is living with a “gambling addiction” and the Magpies have vowed to support him as he attempts to deal with that, but as it stands he remains available for selection at a time when Howe’s midfield resources have been depleted by a back injury which will sideline Elliot Anderson for eight weeks, while Jacob Murphy is awaiting a verdict on the shoulder he dislocated against Dortmund soccer

(Getty Images)The Magpies boss, who will be without striker Alexander Isak following a recurrence of a groin problem, said: “At the moment, he’s travelling with us soccer

We’re preparing as if he’s fit and available to play soccer

”In the longer term, Howe knows Tonali faces a difficult spell on the sidelines – the club does not yet know whether he will be able to train with his team-mates – and one which will have to be carefully managed soccer

He said: “Certainly with Sandro’s situation, if he is ultimately banned for that length of time, he’s going to have really difficult moments within that timeframe, a lot of attention on him initially, and that’s a difficult situation for him soccer

“But then no doubt there’ll be a period where it’s just training – wherever he trains – and no game, and that’s very difficult for any player to adjust to, especially when they’re fit and able to play, so that’s going to be a difficult one soccer

“The communication soccer between us, me and my coaching staff and him, is going to be hugely important soccer
