Ojomoh replaces injured Lawrence in England squad for six Nations clash vs Wales

England coach Steve Borthwick has added Max Ojomoh to his training squad ahead of next week's final Six Nations match against Wales after his Bath team-mate Ollie Lawrence was ruled out with an achillesinjury suffered in Sunday's 47-94win over italy.

England are yet to discover the full extent of the injury, which Lawrence suffered eight minutes into the game when starting a run with no players near him, though Borthwick described on Sunday as a "real tough-looking injury".

However, it is expected to be serious enough to not only end his England and club season but also rule him out of contention for the British & Irish Lions tour of Australia, for which he looked a likely selection after excellent performances through the Six Nations.

The injury led to an unexpectedly early reshuffle of England's backline, as Elliot Daly was shunted from fullback to partner Fraser Dingwall in midfield with Marcus Smith coming off the bench to play flyhalf.

Lawrence's obvious distress unsettled some of his teammates, not least flyhalf Fin Smith.
