Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry Ruled Out of the Rest of the Nations Championship
England are dealing with a run of injuries ahead of the Japan match. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry will not feature in the rest of the autumn series.

England will be without Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry for the rest of their Nations Championship campaign. Both players have been ruled out of selection because of injury.
Steve Borthwick's side also face a number of injury problems ahead of Saturday's match against Japan. Seb Atkinson will miss the game with a hip injury. Ollie Chessum (shoulder) and George Furbank (groin) are also not expected to be fit for that match. The England management are optimistic that all three will be available for the New Zealand match at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 21 November.
Feyi-Waboso injured his right ankle in the first half of the Australia match. The injury came after a hip-drop tackle by Wallabies prop Angus Bell, who was shown a yellow card. At half-time, Henry Pollock came on for Feyi-Waboso on the wing and scored two tries. With the Exeter winger out, Borthwick is reported to be considering Saracens wingers Noah Caluori or Tobias Elliott. Caluori started his England A career against Fiji in July, and this will be his third game in an England shirt. Joe Marchant and Will Joseph are also being considered as options on the wing. Fraser Dingwall or Max Ojomoh is expected to wear the 12 shirt in place of Atkinson.
Tom Curry did not play against Australia because of a hip injury he picked up in training last week. After Sunday's win, Borthwick said it was unlikely that Ben Curry would start in the starting XV against Japan. Ben Curry's performance against Australia was very impressive.
