Feyi-Waboso will miss Wales clash

ENGLAND enter Saturday's Guinness Six Nations opener against Wales without the electric Immanuel Feyi-Waboso in a late change that sees Tom Roebuck come on to the right wing.

Feyi-Waboso suffered a hamstring injury in training on Thursday and has been ruled out of at least the round one showdown at Allianz Stadium with England yet to provide a date for his return.

It will be hoped that the Exeter wing, his side’s most dangerous runner, recovers in time for the pivotal clash with Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday week, with Ireland’s visit to Twickenham continuing their schedule a week later.

It is an unfortunate development given he missed all of last year's Six Nations after undergoing shoulder surgery, making his comeback on the summer tour against the USA before starting throughout the autumn.

“We're gutted for him. He's a very emotionally resilient guy and a hard working guy,” flanker Sam Underhill said.
