1 day agoFeyi-Waboso a major doubt for rest of England's Six Nations campaign
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of England's pursuit of the triple crown while Steve Borthwick has concerns over the fitness of Ellis Genge for the Calcutta Cup on Saturday. Feyi-Waboso pulled out of the 48-7 victory against Wales after sustaining a hamstring injury in training last Friday and was replaced by Tom Roebuck. According to Borthwick, the Exeter winger will be out for a number of weeks, ensuring he misses the trip to Murrayfield and the visit of Ireland to Twickenham a week later.

who scored 13 points, including two crucial drop-goals after the All Blacks had taken a 12-0 lead, in a virtuoso man-of-the-match performance.
