Nations Championship: England's Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry ruled out of rest of tournament
Steve Borthwick's side have been hit by a raft of injuries ahead of their Nations Championship clash against Japan; Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry have been ruled out of the autumn series

England will be without Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tom Curry for the remainder of their Nations Championship campaign after both players were ruled out due to injury.
It comes as Steve Borthwick's side has been hit with a series of injuries ahead of their clash against Japan on Saturday.
Seb Atkinson, who came off in the second-half of England's 45-22 win against Australia, is set to miss the match with a hip injury, along with Ollie Chessum (shoulder) and George Furbank (groin).

England are optimistic the trio will be available for their clash against New Zealand at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, November 21.
Feyi-Waboso sustained an injury to his right ankle during the first-half of England's clash against the Wallabies, following a hip-drop tackle by Australia prop Angus Bell.
Bell was later sent to the sin bin, with Henry Pollock coming on to replace Feyi-Waboso on the wing at half-time. Pollock would go on to score twice.
The Exeter winger's absence could see Borthwick call on Saracens flyer Noah Caluori for England's clash against Japan.
It would be Caluori's third cap for England, having made his senior debut during their Nations Championship clash against Fiji in July.
Curry did not feature in England's win over Australia after he sustained a hip injury during training last week.
England's 36-player squad returned to Pennyhill Park to prepare for their upcoming clash on Monday.
