Injury rules Lawrence out of England squad

Warriors’ centre Ollie Lawrence has been rested from England’s squad for Saturday’s Autumn Nations Cup match against Wales at Llanelli’s Parc y Scarlets due to a hip injury.

Lawrence started in England’s first two matches in the new competition – victories over Georgia and Ireland – and had been included in an initial squad of 35 to train for the Wales match.

But the injury means Lawrence will miss out on the chance to win his fourth international cap against Wales having made his debut off the bench against Italy in Rome last month.

England complete their Autumn Nations Cup programme with a placings  match at Twickenham on Sunday December 6.
