Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry ruled out of England’s autumn campaign
England will be without Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry for the rest of their autumn campaign.
Feyi-Waboso injured his ankle during Sunday’s 45-22 win over Australia, while Curry has a hip injury.
The injuries leave England short of key players as they prepare to face Japan on Saturday, New Zealand the following week and a finals-weekend match.
George Furbank, Ollie Chessum and Seb Atkinson are also injured, although England hope they may recover for the New Zealand game.
Henry Pollock could make a rare start in the back row, after coming on for Feyi-Waboso against Australia.
Coach Steve Borthwick is considering Marcus Smith or Freddie Steward at full-back, and Max Ojomoh or Fraser Dingwall at inside-centre.
England must select a reshaped team for Japan, with Borthwick also planning to rest some players because of the six-day gap between matches.

What people are saying
It would be a consideration. I’ll probably be unlikely to do that. It’s not that I’m refraining from playing [Henry] on the wing, I think he might be needed in the back row.
[Max’s] was probably the standout performance [for England A]. At 12, I think it’s more likely that I’ll be looking at Max Ojomoh or Fraser Dingwall as options.
