England Counts the Cost of Big Australia Win as Feyi-Waboso Ruled Out Injured
Steve Borthwick said Feyi-Waboso needs more investigation after a 32nd-minute injury that forced England to reshuffle its back three.
- England defeated the Wallabies 45-22 on Sunday, but winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is ruled out for the remainder of the Nations Championship after suffering an ankle injury in the 32nd minute.
- Mounting injury concerns now plague the squad, as four starters from Sunday's victory will miss Saturday's match against Japan due to injuries sustained during the game.
- Joining Feyi-Waboso on the sidelines are centre Seb Atkinson , fullback George Furbank , and flanker Ollie Chessum ; flanker Tom Curry remains unavailable after aggravating a long-standing hip problem.
- Replacement winger Henry Pollock scored two tries in the second half, prompting head coach Steve Borthwick to joke, "We now have to bear Henry Pollock saying playing on the wing is easy."
- Facing a six-day turnaround before hosting Japan on Saturday, England considers Fraser Dingwall and Max Ojomoh as potential replacements for sidelined centre Seb Atkinson.
