MARLIE PACKER revealed England have moved quickly to fill the hole left by skipper Zoe Aldcroft's knee injury that could sideline her for the World Cup pool stages.

- BY ADAM HATHAWAY

Aldcroft played 62 minutes of Friday's opening 69-7 win over the USA but has been ruled out of tomorrow's clash with Samoa and almost certainly the game with Australia a week later.

World Cup-winning centre Emily Scarratt, who came off the bench against the Americans is also out of this weekend's game in Northampton with a shoulder injury.

And fly-half Holly Aitchison is still missing with her ankle problem.
