England Rugby Suffers Double Injury Blow as Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry Ruled Out

England's Nations Championship campaign has been dealt a significant blow with the news that wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and flanker Tom Curry have been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to injuries. Feyi-Waboso sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's victory over Australia, while Curry is sidelined with a hip injury. The double absence adds to a growing list of unavailable players for head coach Steve Borthwick.

This latest setback follows a strong performance against Australia, where Henry Pollock scored two tries to secure a 45-22 win. However, the team had already faced adjustments due to fitness concerns, with Fin Smith cleared to play and Ben Curry starting in place of his injured twin brother, Tom. The injuries to Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry mean that players like Pollock are now in line for more prominent roles in a significantly altered squad.

Adding to England's woes, George Furbank, Ollie Chessum, and Seb Atkinson are also expected to miss the upcoming match against Japan. These absences place further pressure on squad depth as England navigates the Nations Championship, with the team having previously secured a victory over Argentina in July.
