Pollock left on bench as England field unchanged starting XV against Argentina
Hat-trick against Fiji insufficient to promote No 8
Borthwick expects ‘fantastic atmosphere’ for game
England have opted not to start the in-form Henry Pollock against Argentina on Saturday and have instead retained an unchanged starting lineup. The only alterations from last week’s 73-8 win over Fiji are among the replacements where Ben Spencer and the uncapped Northampton loosehead Emmanuel Iyogun come into the matchday 23. somethingsdifferent.biz
Even an eye-catching hat-trick of tries in Liverpool has proved insufficient to earn Pollock a promotion from the bench for this month’s third and final round of Nations Championship fixtures. The head coach, Steve Borthwick, has chosen to stick with Ben Earl at No 8 and Guy Pepper at openside flanker, with Bristol’s Benhard van Rensburg and Saracens’ Noah Caluori once again handed roles as impact subs.

Resident Evil's runtime has been reportedly revealed, and fans think it's "perfect"
The Resident Evil movie runtime might have been revealed, and fans are very pleased with it.
AMC lists the film as 1 hour and 35 minutes (via IGN), which is a pretty slim runtime. "Love a tight 90," says one person on Reddit, with another agreeing: "Normalize 90 minute movies"
"This is about the perfect run length for most horror movies, in my opinion. I saw Evil Dead Burn last night, and while I thought it was decent, it definitely dragged a little towards the end and I think it would have benefitted from ten minutes or so being trimmed out," says someone else.
"90min is the sweet spot for action/horror imo. Evil Dead keeps it short and sweet (Burn is the only one longer than 90 minutes) and it's probably the most consistently good horror franchise," says another fan.
"Perfect, 90 minutes feels perfect for this type of movie," says another fan. "BRING BACK THE 90m MOVIE" is another person's thoughts.
"This pretty much confirms he's not exploring any of the Resident Evil lore. Just balls to the wall zombie survival horror movie," thinks another person.
"It feels like one gigantic sequence. Things pop off about five minutes in and it basically stays like that until the end," director Zach Cregger has previously shared. "What I love about the games is that you move from set-piece to set-piece. Every location has a unique challenge... I’m borrowing from the games directly in that rhythm, where you’re just running through a gauntlet."
Resident Evil hits theaters on September 18. For more, check out our guide to all the upcoming video game adaptations for everything else that's in store.
Crimson Desert update adds cross save functionality to PC and consoles, but you're going to need to buy those Deluxe cosmetics again
Pearl Abyss has rolled out yet another update for Crimson Desert, this time bringing cross-save functionality to its enormous open-world adventure.
Crimson Desert patch 1.14.00 is available now across PC and consoles, and while it also boasts a number of bug fixes and improvements, cross-save functionality is definitely the star of the show. If you own a copy of the game on PC and PS5, for example, you'll now be able to use the exact same save file on both if you choose, rather than having two separate adventures on the go.
In a FAQ section on the official site, Pearl Abyss explains the process – you'll just have to link a Pearl Abyss ID to your accounts for whatever platforms you're planning to play on (for example, to your PSN account). The devs clarify that you only get one cross-save slot per Pearl Abyss ID, although you can freely link and unlink accounts.
Again, to be clear, this is only for folks who own multiple copies of the game – you won't be able to start playing for free on Xbox just because you own the game on Steam, for example. But there's no doubt this is going to be handy for anyone who wants that flexibility to switch around.
One thing to be aware of is that any "paid items" (so, those in the Deluxe Pack) will only appear on the platforms you bought them on. Pearl Abyss says they "will appear disabled on platforms where they have not been purchased," and although "you can still load the save file and play," you'll need to "purchase the disabled items separately to use them on that platform." Kinda harsh, although I suppose it makes sense that Pearl Abyss wouldn't want you to be able to access a Deluxe version of the game at the price of the standard one.
Yet to play? Be sure to check out our Crimson Desert review to find out why it's one of the most popular new games for 2026.
Den tidligere verdens nummer 1 Marat Safin mener, at Alcaraz og Sinner ikke er lige så gode som Federer, Nadal eller Djokovic på deres højeste
Jannik Sinner og Carlos Alcaraz har domineret tennis de sidste to år, med Roger Federer og Rafa Nadal væk, og med Novak Djokovic, der stadig prøver hårdt, men i en klar, naturlig og uundgåelig tilbagegang. Nogle taler om en "Big Two"-æra, hvor Alexander Zverev nærmer sig, især efter hans nylige sejr i Roland Garros og Wimbledon-finalen.
Marat Safin, 46-årig tidligere russisk tennisspiller, nu træner for Andrey Rublev, som vandt US Open 2000, Australian Open 2005 og to Davis Cup i 2002 og 2006, og var rangeret som verdens nr. 1, mener, at hvis Alcaraz og Sinner spillede under Big Three-æraen, ville de ikke være lige så gode som nogen af dem.
I en podcast med sin søster, også tidligere spiller Dinara Safina, sagde Marat Safin, at hvis han havde spillet med Sinner eller Alcaraz, ville han sandsynligvis have tabt til dem, men både Sinner og Alcaraz ville have tabt til Roger Federer. "Jeg tror, jeg nok ville have tabt til Sinner og Alcaraz, men jeg ser dem ikke som frygtindgydende spillere. De er ikke Federer, slet ikke. Det er et helt andet niveau. For at nå Federers niveau har de stadig meget at forbedre. Jeg vil ikke undervurdere dem, men sådan ser jeg det."
Safin siger, at begge er "fremragende spillere og har vundet mange titler, men jeg ved ikke, om de ville have vundet så mange Grand Slams dengang", og hævder, at "hvis Sinner og Alcaraz havde spillet i Nadal og Djokovic-æraen eller i begyndelsen af 2000'erne, ville de ikke have været nummer et og to i verden og ikke være nået så langt".
Safin er ret kritisk over for tennisniveauet nu og siger, at det er gået fra tredive ud af halvtreds spillere i eliten til kun ti nu. "Nu når man semifinalen eller finalen uden at tabe et eneste sæt, og det synes jeg er latterligt."
