JUST try telling Manu Tuilagi there's nothing at stake today when England end their pool campaign.
Steve Borthwick's team have already won Pool D, guaranteeing a quarter-final in Marseille next weekend.
Samoa have lost twice and are unable to advance.
Which changes nothing for Tuilagi, up against the country of his birth for the first time and so focused on delivering a performance that he withdrew from media duties this week.
In his absence Owen Farrell and George Ford, paired together in a match for the first time in two-and-a-half years, have led the bulletins.
Tuilagi is the youngest of six rugby playing brothers and the only one to opt for England over Samoa after coming to the UK as a kid and qualifying on residency.
