Injury-Ridden England Make Six Changes in Training Squad
England head coach Steve Borthwick ruled six players out for Saturday's Nations Championship test against Japan following injuries sustained during Sunday's victory over Australia.
Wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and centre Seb Atkinson suffered ankle and hip injuries in the win, while Ollie Chessum and George Furbank picked up shoulder and groin problems.
Flanker Tom Curry remains out of the remaining tournament matches, prompting Borthwick to call up Noah Caluori and Max Ojomoh to the 36-man training squad.
Scrum-Half Archie McParland replaced Harry Randall, and Borthwick intends to manage combinations carefully, saying, "I don't want to make wholesale changes."
England sits second in the Northern Hemisphere table, with Chessum, Furbank, and Atkinson expected to recover in time for next weekend's encounter with New Zealand.
